The social sector has experienced tremendous growth and change during the last two decades. Yesterday, organizations could rely on their relationships, efforts and reputations to garner support. Today, it is no longer enough for nonprofit organizations, including foundations, to say that they do good work, as increasingly key stakeholders are demanding that organizations demonstrate results. As a result, nonprofits and foundations are asking:

• How do we show our donors that we are using their contributions effectively?
• How do we show our board that we are holding ourselves accountable for results?
• How do we demonstrate that we are fulfilling our mission?

To answer these questions, Mission Measurement partners with nonprofits and foundations to articulate goals, align or design strategies to reach these goals and measure and communicate results. Our clients aim to affect change in a variety of issue areas, but have one thing in common; the desire to demonstrate results. 

Organization Strategy & Impact Measurement engagements designed to help organizations articulate clear outcomes, measure results and communicate impact.  Mission Measurement works with nonprofit organizations, including direct service, intermediary, policy and advocacy organizations to enhance their ability to inform their work and communicate their impact. 

Grantmaking Strategy & Impact Measurement engagements designed to help funders maximize, measure and communicate grantmaking impact. Mission Measurement works with private, community and operating foundations to measure the impact of grantmaking, in order to learn and inform future decisions. 

Capacity Building engagements designed to train organizations on the practical tools and techniques necessary to measure results and communicate impact. Mission Measurement partners with funders and other conveners to support training and capacity building efforts for many organizations at once, or works directly with one organization at a time.
