Social Impact Assesment

Launch the Learning Driven Social Impact Assessment Workbook

Funders, social investors, nonprofits, and social enterprises are united by a common goal: social change. To reach this goal, the social sector must identify what approaches work — and why.

The goal of social impact assessment is to drive improvements that increase the value of programs to the people they serve. Social impact assessment helps organizations to plan better, implement more effectively, and successfully bring initiatives to scale. Assessment also facilitates accountability, supports stakeholder communication, and helps guide the allocation of scarce resources.
