Surveying beneficiaries is a great first step, however, they can't offer the deep insight that you need to make service decisions or secure funding. The issue with surveys is that they ask questions at a single point in time, making it hard to prove long-term impact and often manual which can lead to inconsistencies that compromise the integrity of the data.
When we talk about social outcomes measurement, we refer to an evidence-based process that assesses how well a program has achieved its intended results.
ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) factors are used to evaluate a company's sustainability and social impact, and are primarily focused on assessing the risks and opportunities associated with a company's operations, reputation, and long-term financial performance. ESG factors are typically measured through disclosure frameworks and sustainability reports, and are used by investors and other stakeholders to evaluate the sustainability and social impact of companies.
Outcomes measurement, on the other hand, is a broader concept that refers to the process of evaluating the effectiveness of programs or interventions in achieving their intended outcomes. Outcomes measurement is commonly used in the context of social and environmental programs to evaluate the impact of initiatives such as poverty alleviation, education, healthcare, or environmental conservation. Outcomes measurement focuses on evaluating the actual results of programs, such as improvements in health, reductions in poverty, or increases in environmental conservation, and is typically measured through data collection and evaluation methodologies.
While ESG factors and outcomes measurement are related in that they both evaluate the social and environmental impact of organizations, they are fundamentally different concepts. ESG factors are used to evaluate the sustainability and social impact of companies, while outcomes measurement is used to evaluate the effectiveness of social and environmental programs.
If a nonprofit organization wants to track outcomes, it needs to take several considerations into account. Here are a few:
Outputs are the services, programs and support your organization provides - the activities (or the what) that enable outcomes. Whereas Outcomes refers to the changes that happen as a result of your program, activity or service. They are mostly characterized as a change in circumstance, knowledge, skill, behavior or attitude.
Whether it’s a public company, a private company, or a charity, Socialsuite has the right solution for you.
