Social enterprises that built their own impact-measurement capacity
Capacity, not just tooling
Miller Center for Social Entrepreneurship runs accelerator and alumni programs for early-stage social enterprises and, in 2021, sought a thought-leadership partner for impact measurement, content plus technology.
The goal was to build the enterprises’ own measurement capacity, not hand them a dashboard.
As Ecosystem builders, Miller Center aims to foster growth of Social Entrepreneurs on a foundation of continual learning and tangible impact demonstration.

Modules, advising, and a platform
Sopact co-designed course modules, provided video content, and advised alumni cohorts on theory of change and impact-data strategy, with many enterprises using the Impact Cloud.
The work ran through webinars, workshops, and short courses across cohorts.
From proving to improving
More than a hundred social enterprises built their impact-measurement capacity through the collaboration, shifting focus from proving impact to actively improving it.
