Understanding Social Impact Measurement: 3-Day Open Enrolment

As funders and supporters increasingly prioritize organizations that demonstrate measurable and impactful outcomes, a properly implemented impact measurement strategy can enhance stakeholder engagement and plays a crucial role in accessing funding opportunities. And, it’s easier than you think!

Understanding Social Impact Measurement blends group discussions, hands-on activities, case studies, and self and open reflections to equip learners with practical insights and tools for easy application of essential social impact measurement practices within their own organizations.

Join us in this highly interactive three-day course, where you will learn to use appropriate social impact measurement tools to define, measure, and showcase the outcomes of your organization’s or initiative's activities, including:

  • Selecting appropriate indicators
  • Effectively collecting your data
  • Analyzing your results for optimal use
  • Sharing your results in engaging and impactful ways

Outcomes from the program include:

  1. Understanding key terminology, concepts and usefulness of measuring your organization’s or initiative’s impact
  2. A clear overview of the roadmap to effective social impact measurement and how to apply it to your own work.
  3. Identifying creative ways to refine and optimize your own measurement process to enhance your social impact
