About UsTHE NEXT GENERATION OF SOCIAL IMPACT The Impact Genome® is a pioneering platform that standardizes impact data and makes it actionable. By standardizing data, we make possible benchmarking, prediction and evidence synthesis.EXPLORE THE IMPACT GENOME® Interact with the 12 impact areas (or Genomes). Each Genome provides a common data standard, evidence and benchmarks: 1. Arts and Culture 2. Criminal Justice 3. Critical Human Needs 4. Culture and Identity 5. Economic Development 6. Education 7. Global Development 8. Public Health 9. Science and Technology 10. Sustainability and Environment 11. Systems Change 12. Youth DevelopmentImpact GenomeIG_6d6664f6-01d4-11ea-beaa-b4d30883ea00The Impact Genome is the brainchild of Jason Saul and Dr. Nolan Gasser.

We call these program features ‘genes’. Program genes can be standardized, coded, quantified and analyzed.LearningBy creating standardized and comparable data, we can now answer questions like: ‘why do some programs work better than others?’ ‘what can we learn across multiple studies?’ and ‘how can you compare two different programs?’ComparisonThe secret behind the Genome is standardization. Standards make comparison possible.BenchmarkingAnd comparisons enable benchmarking and innovation.InnovationPublic PolicyStandards, benchmarks and innovation can have a powerful effect on public policy and philanthropy: it can level the playing field, unlock the evidence base, democratize the tools of evaluation, rationalize resource allocation, and, we hope, lead to more effective and efficient solutions to social problems.PhilanthropyEvidenceDemocracyEvaluationRationalityEffectivenessEfficiencyToolsOffer tools for policymakers, practitioners and funders_6d666906-01d4-11ea-beaa-b4d30883ea00PolicymakersPractitionersFundersThe Genome offers a new generation of tools for policymakers, practitioners and funders (plus researchers, evaluators and data scientists):ActionMake Evidence Actionable_6d6669d8-01d4-11ea-beaa-b4d30883ea001discover the closest matching evidence for your program or policyBenchmarkingBenchmark Social Programs_6d666a96-01d4-11ea-beaa-b4d30883ea002compare the ‘cost-per-outcome’ of different programsImpactAnalyze Portfolio Impact_6d666c4e-01d4-11ea-beaa-b4d30883ea003aggregate results across a diverse portfolio of investmentsROIForecast ROI_6d666d3e-01d4-11ea-beaa-b4d30883ea004estimate the impact of a social program before you fund itProgramsInnovate Program Design_6d666e42-01d4-11ea-beaa-b4d30883ea005use evidence to design more effective social programs2019-11-07https://www.impactgenome.org/about-us/OwenAmburOwen.Ambur@verizon.net
