LCVS Training: Proving your Impact – Design a system that works for you and your funders

With competition for funding on the increase, it’s more important than ever that your organisation can measure and prove its impact. It won’t be enough anymore to rely on good local reputation and links to make sure your group gets funded.

Grant funders also expect you to have a system in place for measuring your impact. Not only will this help prove that your project works, but it also helps you secure future funding too.

There are many ways to measure your impact and many tools on sale. Some are more relevant than others:

This session will provide you with:

• An understanding of different impact measurement tools/techniques
• Practical guidance on developing your own impact measurement systems for short or multi-year projects
• Knowledge of how to cost/fund impact measurement activity
• Examples of real-life impact measurement systems that have worked to measure impact and lever in further funding
• Information about funders willing to support impact measurement activity.
