7 Principles for Measuring Impact

Join Submittable's marketing team to shift your perspective and discover seven principles that can help guide your impact measurement work.
 
Listen on:

Impact measurement is a meaty topic—literal books have been written on the topic. It's also evolving, as funders increasingly seek to balance power in favor or a more trust-based approach. How can you actualize your goal of reducing grantee burden in your impact measurement strategy?

This episode of Impact Audio features host and Submittable Content Marketing Manager Rachel in conversation with her colleague, Senior Product Marketing Manager Natalya DeRobertis-Theye. They discuss seven principles identified to help shift perspective and guide impact measurement work that Natalya developed for a longer webinar on the same topic.

Listen to learn about:

  • How keeping the mission front and center can help you eliminate unnecessary reporting
  • Why it's important (and okay!) to be humble and prioritize learning
  • How traditional impact measurement requirements have perpetuated cycles of inequity (and what to do about it)

We hope you enjoy listening.
