Impact Loop Information

Impact Loop develops technology to help mission-driven clients measure and communicate their impact. Evaluation tools are built on a platform including: 1) mobile apps for field/program data collection, 2) cloud databases for data management, and 3) web dashboards for data analysis and communication. Impact Loop's technology is modular, allowing feedback loop templates to be used consistently across projects or programs within organizations. However, specific tools (e.g. surveys, annotated maps, data tables, story blogs, photos) may be customized by each organization to collect and manage data relevant to a topic/geographic area. Together, the loops form an impact picture that may be communicated directly to internal and/or external stakeholders. Impact Loop supports any/all issue areas (i.e. social, environmental & geographical topics) and creates an evaluation platform based on frequent, incremental, real-time feedback. Because mobile devices are widely adopted, Impact Loop’s tools may be easily deployed and readily used by a mission-driven organization’s staff, beneficiaries/grantees and citizens alike. The connections between data collection tools and real-time visual outcome dashboards promote significant enhancements in data speed, accuracy, relevance and transparency to all stakeholders. Impact Loop is a social enterprise with a fundamental mission - to strengthen the impact of mission-driven organizations by improving evidence-based evaluation and communication. It believes that the best technology tools to achieve this goal are intuitive, customizable and affordable. Impact Loop's clients are domestic and international nonprofits, foundations, governments, social enterprises and social investors.
