- Assess whether those outcomes fully align with your mission
- Help staff and board members clearly understand the why’s behind your programs
- Reveal previously invisible assumptions in program design, so everyone sees and shares the same understanding of intended program outcomes
You'll benefit from customized impact mapping when:
- You’re ready to invest energy in a mapping process that effectively engages key constituents
- You understand the value of conversations that help staff and board articulate their assumptions about program design
- You’re prepared to dedicate time to get clear about impact—and how to demonstrate it
Impact mapping typically includes these 4 steps:
- Inventory programs, inputs, and resources
- Identify assumptions about each program, including the key short-term, medium-term, and long-term outcomes for each one
- Analyze the concerns and viewpoints of key constituents, so you can better build their support, in addition to funders’ support
- Design processes that evaluate and measure evidence of program impact
