Nonprofit Storytelling

Stories are the universal language among humans. The good news is that social sector organizations have great stories to share – if you learn how to tell them in the right way. Social Impact Architects works with social sector organizations to develop succinct, compelling messages that convey your results and speak to your stakeholders’ interests. We utilize a variety of tools to provide a holistic picture of the impact you have including anecdotes, internal/external data analysis, and social return on investment analysis.

Nonprofit Impact Measurement

To achieve social impact, you have to start with the end in mind – uncover what you want to know and learn and it will lead you to measure the right things and analyze your social impact to support your decision-making. To do this, we start with the organization’s logic model and work with you to define the impact you hope to achieve. We then work backwards to determine the tools you need to capture results and tell your organization’s story in a compelling way.

Nonprofit Retreat Facilitation

Social Impact Architects will work alongside your team to build a customized agenda with expert facilitation before, during and after that will set the stage for results that matter – an engaged team, shared understanding, and manageable next steps.
