Recently, we sat down with Gabe Cohen and Sara Ansell from True Impact to tackle one of the most common challenges foundation leaders face: demonstrating meaningful impact without overcomplicating the process.
In this practical, interactive session, we explored simple frameworks for moving beyond outputs to outcomes — and how impact data can strengthen board reporting and inform real decisions without overburdening your team or grantees.
You’ll hear candid conversation about what’s working, what’s not, and what’s next in impact measurement — plus actionable insights you can bring back to your foundation right away.
Whether you’re just beginning your impact measurement journey or looking to sharpen your existing approach, this is a session worth revisiting.
