Measuring the Impact of Impact Investing

An organization called New Philanthropy Capital designed a program that helps investors see the progress of their investments. The program is known as Impact Assurance Classification. It creates reports based on the impact an investor has based on investment, theme, and contribution. This program makes it possible for impact investors to not have to analyze this type of data on their own and for more thorough reports to be created.

The article discusses the experience that a foundation, K.L. Felicitar, has had with this program. Through these reports, the investors, Lisa and Charly Kleissner, have been able to see the effects of their foundation. This includes findings such as the benefits of working through London-based NPC (National Planning Corporation) versus through the United States. They have also been able to see where their investments have gone and how these contributions have benefited different societies.
