Common Impact Data Standard Support

We help organizations turn their impact data into a standardized, Common Impact Data Standard-compliant format — and build the dashboards to make use of it.

What is the Common Impact Data Standard?

The Common Impact Data Standard, developed by the Common Approach to Impact Measurement, is a standardized way to represent your organization's impact model (theory of change, logic model, outcomes chain, or similar) and the five dimensions of impact — who, what, how much, contribution, and risk. It doesn't tell you what to measure; it standardizes how that information is structured in a database, using linked data (JSON-LD), so it can be shared, compared, and aggregated across organizations and systems.

Many organizations adopt the Common Impact Data Standard simply by using impact-measurement software that's already aligned with it. If you're not on aligned software, we can help — mapping your existing data so it can be exported and read as a Common Impact Data Standard-compliant impact capsule.

How it works

Your data flows into a single, standardized impact capsule that speaks the same language as every other system aligned with the Common Impact Data Standard, then out to dashboards and reports that read it directly.
