Client example: A company that wants to better understand the impact of their cash grants to nonprofits addressing hunger, education, and STEM career development.
Benchmarking by Cause Area
A collaborative benchmarking solution based on data from dozens of corporate donors and hundreds of their charitable partners. This comparative analysis gives access to standardized indicators, benchmarks, and best practices—all prepared by True Impact. Sample causes include Health, Hunger, Homelessness, Education, STEM Education, Youth Development, Environment, and others.
Client example: A CSR department that wants to provide their corporate leaders with information on how their social impact strategies compare to peer programs and best practices in the field.
Volunteer ROI Employee Survey
A post-volunteer event survey capturing and benchmarking the external social value (i.e, money saved by nonprofits) and internal business impacts (e.g., job satisfaction, skills development, recruiting, sales, stakeholder relations, and brand) of employee engagement activities.
Client example: A company wants to track their annual community clean up day to measure year-over-year and peer performance in employee engagement and learning, team development, and strengthened community relationships.
Corporate Bundle
A comprehensive impact evaluation that covers a company’s corporate grants, volunteerism, and employee giving programs. Includes impact evaluation across cause areas and employee volunteer surveys for capturing and benchmarking business impacts for companies with a single philanthropic investment mechanism (e.g., corporate giving).
Client example: A company wants to measure their complete impact across their core giving portfolios, to share results with the board and other functional areas, and to guide strategic philanthropic decisionmaking to better achieve their social and business goals.
Enterprise Bundle
A complete, global measurement and management solution capturing all of a company’s giving programs, including grants (foundation and corporate giving and employee matching gifts), volunteerism, pro bono, board service, international corporate volunteerism, and product donations.
