How Does GBF Measure Social Impact on the Ground?
The Grassroots Business Fund (GBF) developed its Impact Planning, Assessment and Learning (iPAL) Framework to equip its high-impact businesses with the tools they need to collect and analyze financial, operational and social data. This data allow our client businesses to make critical decisions that improve their operations and increase the social impact they have on their key stakeholders. In addition, this data increases the businesses’ ability to attract additional investors and donors. GBF works closely with its client businesses to ensure that the iPAL framework is tailored to their needs and seamlessly integrated into their business processes, thereby ensuring the businesses’ capacity to sustain this data collection and analysis, even after GBF exits.
