Limited ability to assess impact
Salesforce Nonprofit Cloud goes beyond streamlining grant management; it also equips foundations with powerful impact measurement tools that have the potential to revolutionize the way they assess and enhance their grantmaking efforts.
These tools enable your foundation to collect and analyze valuable data from your grantees, ushering in a new era of project assessment and overall impact evaluation.
This data-driven approach is pivotal in supporting informed decision-making processes within your foundation, empowering your team to make strategic choices backed by concrete evidence. It goes beyond simply managing grants; it’s about unlocking deeper insights into the effectiveness of those grants.
At Fíonta, our consultants are adept at guiding organizations through the intricate discovery process that lays the foundation for robust impact measurement. We don’t offer just a one-size-fits-all solution; we collaborate closely with your foundation to define measurable outcomes and indicators that are meaningful and aligned with your core mission and values.
Leveraging Salesforce’s highly customizable features, such as custom fields and data modeling capabilities, we configure the system to capture precise impact data. This includes creating custom data objects to track grantee progress, impact metrics, and program outcomes. Our goal is to tailor Salesforce to become an extension of your foundation’s unique identity and goals.
Data governance
We recognize the importance of effective data governance within your foundation and work diligently to establish data governance practices that are both robust and user-friendly, ensuring your team can collect the data effectively and communicate it to stakeholders with clarity and confidence, thus fostering transparency and trust throughout your grantmaking ecosystem.
By seamlessly aligning your data collection and governance efforts, we empower your foundation to manage grants more efficiently and showcase your grants’ tangible impact, reinforcing your philanthropic mission.
Managing impact investments
Foundations that embrace impact investing, a powerful strategy for generating positive social and financial returns, often grapple with the complexities of managing these investments. The intricacies of tracking assets, assessing both social and financial returns, and effectively managing portfolios can pose significant challenges without the right tools and systems.
