Impact Research and Reports

We lead research and evaluations and produce annual or multi-year grantmaking and investment portfolio analysis reports, in-depth evaluations of programmes or portfolios, research, and CSR reports.

We analyze your data and collect original data to track and communicate effectively the impact of your grantmaking, investment portfolio, or programme.
A diverse and mixed methodology can be used, including conducting surveys, focus groups, interviews and story data collection.
We contextualize the report to track your contribution to the change process, strengths and weaknesses of your approach, results, outcomes and story of impact, as well as lessons learned and recommendations for the future.
We provide compelling ways to communicate your impact and prepare a visually designed report for communication to diverse audiences.

Following approval, in 2024, we led the process of coding all grants with the new taxonomy and prepared a grant synthesis presentation for the global and regional boards, providing an in-depth analysis of all their active grants. We will be further supporting them in the next steps in developing their outcome taxonomies and supporting impact tracking.

Impact Stories & Case Studies

Stories are a critical form of communication that moves hearts and minds, and they can also be used to track changes in social impact initiatives. We create stories and case studies to profile groups' key achievements visually. We bring together data from different sources to tell visually compelling stories.

  • We conduct interviews and surveys and weave together diverse data sources you have to help communicate your impact and share your brand story clearly.
  • We create visually compelling case studies that align with your brand and can be shared in diverse ways. For example, some donors like to create an online gallery to showcase their partners or investments, other groups like to create a case study to showcase their work on their website or social media platforms or as an addition to fundraising proposals.

Example impact stories and case studies:

Pastoral Women's Council, International Women’s Development Agency
