Impact

We track a few core impacts related to:

• Providing women and girls access to a service or product that previously was unavailable to them and that meets their specific needs. 
• Having at least 50% female clients / beneficiaries.
• Demonstrating inclusivity in workforce composition and having other women in leadership positions. 
• Demonstrating a commitment to environmentally sustainable production and socially ethical business practices, at the very least along the do-no-harm principles. 
• Having systemic effects on policy or public narratives that impacts women and girls in a positive way. 

We know that our partners are the experts and we let them do their work instead of burdening them with requests for extensive impact measurement metrics. We won’t fund them if they aren’t working on at least one of our core impact metrics, we rely on them to keep track of whether they are achieving the things they have set out to do, and ask only for impact reports they already should have on hand.
