Plan & measure your social impact

The Outcomes Matrix provides a useful starting point for you to consider the social impact that you are trying to deliver and how you will measure it.

About the Outcomes Matrix:

One of the most common types of impact considered by social investors is outcomes. Outcomes are the changes, benefits, learning or other effects that result from what your project or organisation makes, offers or provides.
This tool includes outcomes and measures for nine outcome areas and 15 beneficiary groups.
You can use this to create a matrix tailored to your organization's activities and impact.
This guidance document explains how to use the Outcomes Matrix in more detail.
