We help grantmakers streamline and enhance the impact measurement capabilities of their nonprofit grantees, using innovative approaches, purpose-built technology, and our signature impact framework methodology.

Measure & Maximize your Impact

Foundations play a critical role in supporting the hard work of the charitable and not-for-profit sector. Modern foundations are taking advantage of technology and new processes to improve collaboration with grantees, measure the outcomes driven by their funding, and to maximize their social impact.

UpMetrics' intuitive yet powerful platform makes it easy for foundations to measure their impact using qualitative and quantitative data, drive continuous learning and improvement internally and across partners, and more effectively share their story of impact with the world.

Because better data = bigger impact.

How the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation Uses a Learning Mindset to Support Grantees in Measuring Impact

"I don't think it's a good use of our dollars to ask grantees to spend their time on reporting. We want them to spend their time doing what they do well - doing what we're funding them to do!

So we really have to ask big questions and think about how we actually free them up to do their best work. Ultimately, we're pushing ourselves to try new things to really disrupt the system."

- Jessica Mindnich, Senior Director at Kauffman Foundation
