ImpactLab

Our vision is to create a world where investment works for communities, so that they can live the lives they choose. At ImpactLab, we bring together big data, powerful analytics, and the best scientific evidence to understand and grow the social impact of organisations who are bringing about change in Aotearoa. How? We're on a mission to connect decision-makers with information they can act on to grow their impact. Our GoodMeasure tool estimates social value & Social Return on Investment by linking operational data from our providers, with population-level data from Government and real-time stories from the frontline – supporting organisations to do good, better. Thus far, we have supported close to 150 organisations, measuring $140 million of social investment representing about 8% of the New Zealand population. In addition to working alongside our providers – including frontline charitable services, primary health entities and social enterprises – we partner with philanthropic foundations and trusts, private donors, and government agencies.
