Nonprofit Consulting Services

Use data to maximize your social impact and fundraising potential.

Mission Measurement helps our nonprofit clients to measure, maximize and sell their social impact.

Our approaches are driven by data, which we generate through our own measurement tools that are both rigorous and practical. We cut through the clutter and quantify what kind of outcomes your work is creating in ways that will help you achieve breakthrough social change and breakthrough fundraising.

Ours is a profoundly different kind of solution that requires a unique set of consulting competencies—blending traditional market research and data rigor with nonprofit strategy consulting and social innovation.

Mission Measurement offers three service lines to our nonprofit clients:


Social Value Proposition Research
We measure the social impact your organization is—or is capable of—producing and segment the stakeholders who attach economic value to it, whether they be foundations, government agencies, corporations or impact investors. We call this your Social Value Proposition, and it’s the central tool for building a strategy that drives both social change and fundraising.

Deliverables:

  • Measuring social impact
  • Market segmentation
  • Value proposition testing
  • Quantifying the unmet need


Social Innovation Strategy
We design new strategies or improve existing ones in order to maximize your organization’s Social Value Proposition. Social innovation strategy is about finding ways to create social change that also create value for your stakeholders. With some clients we take this through to execution of the strategy.

Deliverables:

  • Concept development
  • Quantitative testing
  • Program implementation


Selling Your Impact
We develop strategies for communicating your organization’s new and improved Social Value Proposition in order to drive breakthrough fundraising. Our impact selling strategies are designed to help your organization generate revenue by doing what you do best: Creating lasting social change.

Deliverables:

  • Communications strategy
  • Branding and messaging
  • Fundraising strategy
