ABOUT impactlake™
A connected platform
for the full IMM lifecycle
Move beyond one-off assessments. Bring your impact objectives, evidence and measurement workflows together—and use what you learn to inform decisions over time.
PURPOSE
Measure impact. Learn from it. Act on it.
IMM is not only for explaining outcomes to evaluators or funders. It should help operators understand and improve the value and challenges of their own initiatives.
Use impact information in investment decisions, strategy, management, fundraising and disclosure according to each organization’s workflows.
Incorporate perspectives from investors, financial institutions and supporters; share information and turn dialogue into action.
One platform, connected capabilities
Beyond impact design and KPI selection, impactlake™ brings together workflow-specific solutions, shared functions for continuous management, and a foundation for reusing evidence and evaluation processes.
