Head of Common Foundations Segun Fatudimu reflects on discovering the Foundations and how the standard provided the clarity, confidence, and practical methodology he needed in his consulting work.
Learnings from the Pathfinder Pilot: The Common Foundations articulate a minimum standard of impact measurement for social purpose organizations. It is about being good enough rather than great. The question is: good enough for what?
SI Canada hosted an informative webinar exploring how Purppl secured investment to accelerate the impact of social entrepreneurs and their journey to becoming the co-owners of Thrive Impact Fund. Both organizations use Common Approach’s Common Foundations to “do better impact measurement.”
The Common Foundations are compatible with many other approaches and frameworks, such as the Sustainable Livelihoods Framework. Here, we explore how the Sustainable Livelihoods Framework, promoted by Sustainable Livelihoods Canada, dovetails with the Common Foundations.
The Common Foundations are a minimum standard—it’s not meant to be difficult or overly rigorous. We’re taking a closer look at the questions with the most “no” responses, to see if we can help more organizations get to 100%!
