Funders, commissioners and investors

Planning and reviewing your impact

We can support you to build your own impact-focused funding approach. Our consultancy will help you identify the intended outcomes of your funding, commissioning or investments. We’ll support you in using models such as theory of change, so you can plan funding programmes, develop monitoring and evaluation systems, communicate the difference you want to make and attract applications that better meet your priorities.

As well as our consultancy, we offer a training course specifically for funders, commissioners and investors.

Understanding which types of project work best to achieve change helps with making effective, evidence-based funding decisions. We can independently evaluate the impact of your funding programmes to help you target your funding most effectively.

Supporting organisations you fund

Building evaluation skills among your funded organisations can help you gather meaningful information on the difference your money makes. We work with funders who would like to provide impact measurement training programmes and consultancy to organisations they commission or grant fund.

Collecting information in a proportionate way can help you strengthen your relationships with funded organisations. We can review your reporting forms and train your funding officers to support projects effectively.
