Guiding $800M+ in social investment

More than just reporting, GoodMeasure provides clear, actionable recommendations to optimise funding, refine programs, and maximise impact.

GoodMeasure Foundations: Introductory, tailored, and methodologically grounded.

GoodMeasure Foundations offers an introductory, tailored, and methodologically grounded entry point into impact measurement. You are committed to evidence-informed decision-making, but first, you need to explore what that means for your organisation, in practice.

‍

We understand the constraints many organisations face; limited time, resources, or internal capability can make it difficult to determine whether a full SROI analysis is the right next step. At the same time, there is increasing pressure to demonstrate impact in a landscape where impact measurement can, too often, be inconsistent, complex, or inaccessible.

‍

GoodMeasure Foundations is designed to meet you where you are, offering organisations foundational education, an assessment of your data readiness, and tailored guidance to help you build internal alignment and chart a clear path forward—whether that’s toward a full SROI analysis through GoodMeasure, or another approach.
