Founders and donors need data to measure impact. We'll cover early-stage measurement options and funders who support impact assessments.
Many founders want data to see if their social enterprise is achieving the intended effect. Foundations and donors often want to see the same. But how do you get that data? We will walk you through studies and measurements you might consider when you are still starting out. These options can help power your enterprise and help you raise money to expand. We will also discuss funders who help finance data and impact measurements.
