We’re open, honest, ethical, and fair. We expect integrity from the team internally and the people we choose to partner with.
We’re a data company always looking to get better. We test often, iterate, and look closely at metrics to build capacity and inform decisions.
To create positive change, we never settle. In uncharted territory, we embrace challenges as opportunities, take ownership, and strive for excellence.
Born out of a family foundation, UpMetrics is made for and by individuals who are truly passionate and knowledgeable about technology and the social sector.

Our Cohorts are capacity-building grant programs that are sponsored by funders and provide participating nonprofits with the tools, skills, and support they need to learn from their data and amplify their impact.
We foster collaboration and spark meaningful connections by curating in-person and virtual spaces where our community can build lasting relationships, share experiences, and network with like-minded peers.
The best measure of our success is our clients’ success. Our customers use data to transform their communities for the better, and we’re honored to be a part of it.
UpMetrics helps us assess the effectiveness of new initiatives, monitor trends in our impact over time, and supports our fundraising efforts/reporting for funders.
Without them, all of these things would be harder, and some of them we might not be able to do at all.
