Client Need: An international clothing manufacturer approached Mission Measurement with the desire to develop a reliable and repeatable approach to collecting performance data and communicating results about their global grantmaking efforts.  The organization had struggled in the past with creating a system that was able to capture the impact they were making across their foundation programs. 

Client Need: A large US-based corporate funder, that gave more than $20 million a year to 50 different youth serving organizations was getting pressured from its key stakeholders, including executive leadership in the business, to demonstrate impact of their investments. Previously they had been giving grants in a variety of program areas and were unsure if that was the best approach to reach their organizational goals.  Additionally, they did not know the areas where they were having the most impact and how their strategies could be adjusted in order to produce more impact.

Client Need: A membership organization of urban middle schools was interested in understanding the national impact of its member schools and the value the network was providing. This membership organization serves as a support provider, lending academic, strategic, operational, and professional development guidance to its members. Like many membership organizations in a challenging economic environment, it felt increased pressure to demonstrate value to existing and prospective funders, as well as its member schools. 

Client Need: A civil rights museum that designs and administers several educational programs had yet to develop an organizational strategy for evaluating and communicating the effectiveness of its educational programs. Over time, education funders have become more insistent about only funding grantees that outline clear plans for measuring the outcomes of their grants.  So, when the client applied for funding from the Department of Education (DOE) and needed to develop a plan for evaluating its performance, it approached Mission Measurement to design an evaluation strategy as part of the grant application. 

Client Need: The charitable sister organization of a $20 billion food services corporation sought to measure the social impact it was creating and determine what business value, if any,  it was driving.  Specifically, the organization wanted to investigate what effect the organization was having on consumer trust of its parent company.
