Keep track of your social impact
Develop good habits and good impact measurement
Created by Social Good Outpost for social entrepreneurs and changemakers.
Some of the impactful people and programs we’ve worked with:
Keep track of your work as it happens
Impact Recorder links to your calendar events and starts logging your activities for you.
When you set a regular time to record the rest of the details, it’s already started for you.
Build measurement and evaluation habits while using an organised system
Impact Recorder supports you to log all relevant fields, outcome trends, and encourages noting your reflections before your experiences are forgotten.
This builds familiarity with your impact outcomes, and allows you to jot down notes for later reporting.
Have a record handy when it comes to impact reporting and impact storytelling
Impact Recorder helps you track and measure impact, organise your data locations, and review outcomes and activities at a glance.
Impact Clarity Workshop
We know that one of the most common places to get stuck is starting.
Starting with an Impact Clarity Workshop provides you with a ready-to-go system and understanding of how to integrate it into your routine.
Get your impact measurement sailing smoothly
90-minute Impact Clarity Workshop, and Impact Recorder fully tuned for you
Gain a broader perspective, and clarity on the details, of your impact measurement plan. This feeds into what you will record in Impact Recorder, which supports operational, output and outcome metrics with ease. The tricky thing is knowing which ones make sense for you to track, given your business and your kinds of work, and making a setup that is genuinely useful to you. Plus - we tune your reporting charts to reflect what we've discovered you need to keep tabs on.
You will get a 90-minute Impact Clarity Workshop with Lara Stephenson, expertly guided from wherever you currently are in your impact measurement process. Workshop activities will vary according to where you need help, but could include: logic model creation, clarity on what metrics and measures to track, refinement of any existing models or Theory of Change you may have, or other design thinking activities for your impact work.
Approx. 2 business days afterwards, your new Impact Recorder will be in your hands. And we can pop back in a call to assist you with your automation set up if you need.

Questions and Answers
Impact Recorder is built especially with small teams and founders in mind. We’ve been there, we use this tool, and we created it for needs of small impact enterprises.
We created it to fill the gap of an easy-to-enter impact activity recorder, which connects to your calendar to log important events. You can visit once a month and fill out the remaining details, without having to start with a blank page.
It is very flexible, and doesn’t restrict you to particular impact business models or frameworks, instead allowing you enter custom metrics and impact areas.
It’s built on a platform which can extend, evolve, and connect to the rest of your digital ecosystem or data gathering processes.
We called this tool Impact Recorder because recording your activities, important operational details, and thematic outcomes is a key part of the contextualising of further verification and research you may do, such as surveys.
Impact Recorder is a partner to any research you may do such as surveys, data collection, interviews, and so on.
It can link to these qualitative and quantitative research methods, and supplement them by providing the operational context, and your personal reflections. It helps to contextualise and situationalise additional impact data you gather, and provide a central hub for all impact activities to be logged, which may link out to their data and folders of assets.
All data in Impact Recorder is exportable in spreadsheet form.
Yes, you can add new columns to enter any kind of data, and all the inputs are customisable.
We offer a set up service where we help you to tune your Impact Recorder for your specific work, so it’s ready to go.
You can import survey data into tables from various sources, including CSV files, Google Sheets, and Excel spreadsheets.
