Common Approach is thrilled to be at the 2026 Catalyst: Community Finance Summit
Don’t miss, “From Metrics to Meaning: Practical Impact Measurement for Community Finance,” on Wednesday, May 27 session at 3:15. Hosted by Rally Assets, a session with Common Approach, Purpose Construction, Thrive Impact Fund, and LIFT Impact Partners.
Common Approach shared our learnings from implementing the Common Impact Data Standard and Common Framework with organizations participating in the Government of Canada’s Social Finance Fund.
Like community finance, the Social Finance Fund needed shared infrastructure that offers flexibility and interoperability. Common Approach has the solution!

The Common Framework helps portfolio managers make sense of diverse, bottom-up impact data.
Rather than prescribing what organizations should measure, it offers a structured way to organize, convert, combine, and communicate metrics that arise from different contexts, sectors, and methodological traditions.
Version 1.0 is now open for input from the community! We are extending the deadline until Tuesday, July 7 for attendees of the Catalyst: Community Finance Summit.
