📊 How do you measure the value of your organisation's work?

For many charities and community groups, success is about far more than numbers. The difference you make to people's lives, communities and wellbeing can be difficult to capture, but increasingly funders, commissioners and partners want to understand that impact.

Measuring your social value can help demonstrate the wider benefits your organisation creates, strengthen funding applications, and provide evidence of the difference you're making.

Read our latest article to learn more about why measuring value matters and how it can help your organisation tell its story more effectively.

Heard about easyfundraising’s Donation Day?
Easyfundraising is completely free to use. You simply register your organisation as a cause and ask your network to join as your supporters. Each time they shop online, they’ll activate a cashback donation for your organisation courtesy of the retailer they shopped with – at no extra cost to anyone.
Each quarter, it’s Donation Day – all the donations raised over the last 3 months are paid out. This time, £2.2m was awarded to community organisations JUST LIKE YOURS.
Your organisation can be part of the next funding pay out in August - join now ahead of the next Donation Day: https://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/can/
