Leverage the Common Approach standards to make impact measurement more flexible, shareable, and less burdensome for social-purpose organizations, investors, and funders.
Help your clients meet the minimum standard
Let your clients know when they are meeting the minimum standard for impact measurement and when their practices are good enough. How? Using the Common Foundations.
The Common Foundations outline five essential practices that form a minimum standard for effective impact measurement. They consist of the foundational elements that are common across methods and tools—some of your clients may already meet the standard!
Help funders and investors aggregate portfolio impact
Help your clients aggregate diverse bottom-up data from across their portfolio and translate those bespoke metrics into a collective story that is credible, comparable, and useful for making decisions.
The Common Framework is a set of guidelines for SPOs, networks, investors, and funders to make sense of diverse indicators. It outlines a process for aggregating these diverse and dissimilar indicators to measure a group’s impact. This benefits clients in all areas of the impact measurement ecosystem—SPOs choose the measures that are the most meaningful to their work and funders, investors, collaborators and networks are able to aggregate those measures.
Help your clients find data management solutions
If your clients are asking about data management solutions, you can refer them to the Common Impact Data Standard and aligned tools.
