Welcome to Impact Shift - helping you measure what's working
Funders don't just want to know what you do anymore. They want evidence that it's working: clear, credible proof that your programs are making a difference.
Impact Shift helps you build that proof.
We help purpose-driven organisations design effective programs, develop clear theories of change and measure the impact that too often goes unseen. With hundreds of community and place-based programs designed and evaluated, we bring deep practical experience to every engagement.
Have a program already running? We can help you measure and prove its impact. Building something new? We'll help you design it right from the start.
Social Impact & Theory of Change
Prove the real difference you make with clarity and credibility.
If your organisation is delivering programs but struggling to demonstrate their true value, this is where we start.
We help you build a clear Theory of Change that clearly links your activities to outcomes that are realistic, useful and measurable.
From mapping the problem and defining realistic pathways to change, through to selecting the right indicators, collecting data and showing funders what's changing and why it matters. The result is work you can explain clearly, measure properly and back with evidence.
What you get:
Theory of Change development
Social impact measurement framework
Indicator selection and data collection guidance
Impact reporting and storytelling for funders and stakeholders
Best for organisations with existing programs that need to measure, prove and communicate their impact.
New Program Design
Build programs that are purposeful, effective and built to last.
Starting something new? The decisions you make at the design stage determine everything that follows: how well your program delivers, how clearly you can measure it and how compelling it looks to funders.
We work with you to deeply understand the problem you're solving, develop a strong Theory of Change, define clear objectives and target outcomes and build a delivery approach that's realistic, evidence-informed and genuinely useful from day one.
Whether you're launching a brand new initiative or redesigning an existing one, we help you avoid the common pitfalls and build something that creates meaningful, measurable change.
What you get:
Problem analysis and needs mapping
Theory of Change and program logic development
Objectives, outcomes and indicator framework
Delivery design and implementation guidance
Best for organisations launching new programs or significantly redesigning existing ones
