I train and support your team to build out a truly sustainable strategy.
Both nonprofits and funders need their impact story at their fingertips.
Tracking impact data and telling your story should not be harder than managing your budget.
I can do a little or a lot, we’ll start with what you have and build a right-sized workplan from there:
- ImpactStory™ Strategy build out. I will work with your team to create a Strategic Impact Map with citations, create your surveys, and design efficient data collection process.
- Ongoing training and support. I’ll support your staff in collecting data, understanding what it means, and using it to tell powerful impact stories.
- When we’re done you’ll have embedded tools, a sustainable process, and the institutional knowledge to go forward on your own. But never fear! I’m always available in the ImpactStory™ Network and monthly office hours.
Small or large, now all social sector organizations can easily track impact and communicate the value of their work.and have created a model that other organizations have contacted us to replicate; we have a Strategic Plan for the future…the list goes on and on…” Kim Hyland, Executive Director, Fluvanna/Louisa Housing Foundation
“Our team didn’t have the capacity to create the impact measurement tool without the help of PSI. The map helped our stakeholders understand our focus areas and what evidence-based approaches help move the needle.“
Mollie Brooks, Genworth Foundation
