Idea Name

Impact Beyond the Challenge

Project Summary: Describe your contribution in one sentence

Reimagining how we measure impact of funds (post-challenge).

Challenge Focus: What topic does your idea most directly relate to?

Innovations around the Insight Collection & Synthesis. This includes Knowledge work innovations

The Problem: What problem are you helping to solve?

When creating fundraising and case studies, it's hard to really share: what's the impact of challenges on winners beyond the funding. While we’ve captured a few stories online, we need much more comprehensive data to effectively showcase this piece.

Your Idea: What is your idea for re-imagining Changemaker Challenges? Share your specific approach.

We should standardize our approach to impact measurement. At the 6-month mark (post fund disbursement), we can send a survey to challenge winners, and then follow up with another at the 1-year mark. These regular touchpoints not only help track impact but also create opportunities to strengthen and engage the alumni network. To incentivize challenge winners to share and fill out the survey, perhaps we can gamify this by having an "Impact Showcase" externally on our website (and we can only publish once we have data from at least 6 months).

Your Inspiration: What inspired your solution? Feel free to reference competitors, or other techniques or technologies.

The vision for showcasing our impact in a different way.

The Impact: How will your idea benefit Changemaker Challenge design or delivery?

It will allow us to shift our narrative in how we pitch internally, and it will allow us to change how we share our stories and impact externally.
