Good nonprofits and social sector organizations deliver programs and services.

The best demonstrate impact and secure funding.

Many organizations are collecting data and reporting outcomes. Fewer are able to use that information to build confidence with funders and position their work for future investment.

At Common Good Data, we help behavioral health and human services organizations measure outcomes, demonstrate impact, and strengthen their positioning for funding.

How we help you demonstrate impact and strengthen funding

#1: Gain clarity & build a plan

We work with your team to clarify your goals, align on outcomes, and build a practical plan for how your data and evaluation efforts will support your mission. This includes developing or refining your theory of change, identifying meaningful outcomes, and mapping how you will measure them.

Together, we’ll develop a Data and Evaluation Impact Plan that will serve as a roadmap to demonstrate evidence that your programs work and connect that impact to funding opportunities.

#2: Implement for impact

Next, we help you turn your plan into measurable, meaningful results.

We support your organization in putting that plan into action—strengthening how you collect, analyze, and interpret data so it reflects real change. We gather qualitative and qualitative data with clear outcomes to generate the credible evidence needed to know whether what you’re doing is working.

No more scattered data. No more frantic reporting. Clear, understandable data.

#3: Launch for funding

Translate your impact into a compelling case for funding.

We help you communicate your results in a way that builds confidence with funders, policymakers, and partners. This includes connecting outcomes to value, framing your work in terms of results and return, and positioning your organization as a solution worthy of funder investment.

With strong evidence of impact, you’ll watch your organization escape the starvation cycle and become a leading organization that attracts funding.
