Impact Measurement and Management for Nonprofits

Effective impact measurement and management are critical to enhancing nonprofit outcomes. With UpMetrics, your nonprofit unlocks the tools and connections needed to secure funding and drive growth.

UpMetrics’ Approach to Nonprofit Impact Measurement

At UpMetrics, we believe that evaluating and communicating your work’s impact is the key to consistently improving program effectiveness. That’s why we provide the tools, strategies, and collaborative opportunities to help nonprofits deliver stronger outcomes for the individuals and communities they serve. Here’s how:

Collaborative Cohorts

The impact ecosystem thrives when grantmakers and nonprofits work together. Collaboration enables organizations to amplify their collective impact by aligning around shared issues, exchanging proven strategies, and co-creating solutions that lead to deeper, data-informed impact.

UpMetrics offers the space to do just that. Our Collaborative Cohorts empower funders and grantees to join forces in a safe, collaborative learning environment that combines capacity-building training, data-driven tools, and transformative connections.

Nonprofit Impact Measurement Software

Built on our DeCAL methodology, our impact measurement tool for nonprofits enables mission-driven organizations to define, collect, analyze, and leverage data to deliver greater social outcomes.

We offer a range of plans designed to meet the needs of nonprofits, regardless of their size or budget. Whether you're a grassroots organization or a nationally recognized nonprofit, our adaptable solutions are tailored to empower your mission.

“One of the most powerful aspects of the UpMetrics cohort is being in person with our colleagues in the work.

It’s one thing to see the data visualized on a screen and understand how we’re collecting and analyzing it—but it’s another to bring that data to life by talking with peers about what it means, how it interacts with their work, and what it reveals about our communities.”

- Andrea Meyer, Executive Director

"At the start it sounded like so much work, but now we can't envision our lives without it.

As the primary grant writer, my life has gotten so much easier. After working with UpMetrics, we got some of our first substantial federal grants - including a $1.3M grant from the US government this year - because these are the kinds of grants that require real data."

- Sarah Blais, Senior Director of Market Operations

"As a smaller org, without an evaluation staff person, the platform has cut our reporting time in at least half, if not more. It has also cut down on our need to contract external evaluators as the platform now does the more advanced analysis for us."

"I think of my UpMetrics system as Oz where I can just go onto my system and literally see feedback on the impact we're having. I am going to be able to do so much more for our community with access to these numbers. The dashboards and ease of accessibility to the data is so impressive."

- Beth Simon, CEO
