Visual data overview

All project or portfolio related data are instantly visualized in maps showing how, where, and what work you do. Summary data on the outcomes and key priority issues you care about are also visualized and easily accessible.

Turn text into usable insights

Get more of the data that you already have! Much of the data on social impact and impact in our sector are stored in text formats, but too often go unused.

We also make it easy to save and share compelling quotes that speak to your impact.

Use our surveys at any stage–from grantee applications, grantee reports, beneficiary surveys, investment portfolio and company KPI tracking, pre-post testing, project or conference surveys, and more. We have many special features to make using your data a breeze–from real-time survey visualization to coding open-ended text in surveys.

Different ways clients use our software

‍

Qualitative coding and meta-analysis/synthesis of reports for lessons learned.
‍Spotlight Initiative used ImpactMapper and had over 240 annual reports and knowledge products from country and regional offices, and headquarters coded for lessons learned. This allowed for the production of the Compendium on Lessons Learned and Good Practices to End Violence Against Women and Girls that the ImpactMapper team created to showcase exemplary case studies across 6 different pillars of work and draw out the main lessons learned across 13 thematic areas in ending violence against women and girls around the world.

Storing, analyzing, and visualizing annual impact data and creating impact reports.
‍Building Equity and Alignment for Environmental Justice (BEA) uses ImpactMapper as an impact reporting tool for the foundation. Grantee reports are collected through ImpactMapper’s survey tool, surveys are tagged with their outcomes from the Theory of Change, and visualizations are created for annual board, donor, and community reporting. They have over-time analysis embedded as well with baseline and mid-term data to assess diverse changes that occur to transform environmental movements.

Collecting and analyzing stories of change from grantees.
‍FRIDA The Young Feminist Fund uses ImpactMapper to analyze grantee stories and track outcomes in their theory of change at a portfolio level. This analysis helps them better communicate the diverse and rich changes that have been accelerated through their participatory grantmaking through grantee voices and stories.

Gathering feedback from customers, partners, or staff on operations, events, or specific initiatives.
‍IKEA used ImpactMapper to survey their customers who came to their Glasgow stores and to gather policymaker impressions on their sustainability exhibits at COP26 in Glasgow.
‍
Impact reporting and inclusive AI innovation.
‍Malala Fund uses ImpactMapper to assess the impact of all of their grantmaking portfolios and to produce annual impact reporting for the board and the community. Malala Fund has also supported a pilot with ImpactMapper and granted us support to move forward our work on responsible AI used in the software underscoring their deep commitment to support of the philanthropic technological infrastructure.

Faster analysis of data between different software systems through APIs.
‍An API with Fluxx was supported by Arcus Foundation. The API connects ImpactMapper and Fluxx, a grants management software, and enables grants data to be imported into ImpactMapper faster and in real-time and allows for users to access our visualization features and more easily explore grantmaking trends.
‍
An API with Trint was supported by Winthrop Rockefeller Foundation. The API connects ImpactMapper and Trint, a transcription tool that turns audio and video files to text. This enables automatic import of grantee oral reports and interviews for analysis in ImpactMapper, supporting trust-based reporting.
