Are you a charity or social enterprise in the UK seeking to raise investments or contracts? You can apply for a grant through Access' Impact Management Programme, that can be spend on improving your organisation's impact management capacity and system(s). In order to be eligible to apply, ventures need to attend a one-day training course.

The Impact Management Project is a multi-stakeholder effort, supported by a consortium of thoughtful funders including Ford Foundation, DFID, Omidyar Network, Anthos, PGGM, BlackRock, Mars Inc. and PIMCO, facilitated by Bridges Impact+.

The objective of this project is to understand each other’s impact expectations to work together and agree on how best to measure and manage performance. Over 75 partners from different disciplines are currently involved in co-creating the convention, developing norms and positioning measurement approaches.

Sinzer has been asked to partake in this project and will share expertise in sessions about:

• The impact we expect, based on the information we know (today!)
• The information we need + how we collect and use it
• The impact management cycle

Furthermore we have been asked to invite some of our clients from different parts of the value chain (charities, social enterprises, mission-led businesses, corporations, asset owners and investment managers) to partake in the user journey sessions.
