While most efforts to alleviate social problems are admirable, colleagues, funders, and the public are no longer satisfied with simply knowing an organization is <em>trying<\/em> to help. They want to see and support organizations that succeed\u2013that truly move the needle on their mission.<\/p>\n<p>To <a title=\"How to Grow Impact Beyond Your Own Backyard\" href=\"https:\/\/gofundme.to\/__proxy\/pro.gofundme.com\/blog\/how-to-grow-impact-beyond-your-own-backyard\/\">maximize impact<\/a> and guide programs toward greater effectiveness, some forward-thinking organizations have added directors of impact to their team.<\/p>\n<p>We investigated this new area of nonprofit management when we spoke with Leslie Engle Young, the director of impact at <a title=\"Pencils of Promise\" href=\"https:\/\/pencilsofpromise.org\/\">Pencils of Promise<\/a>. She explains the purpose of the role and how it leads to better results.<\/p>\n<h2>Who\u2019s in Charge of Impact?<\/h2>\n<p>Nonprofits, like nearly all organizations, create leadership positions to ensure that someone runs, monitors, and is held responsible for each part of the business. For example, the <a title=\"3 Tips to Manage Your Growing Development Team\" href=\"https:\/\/gofundme.to\/__proxy\/pro.gofundme.com\/blog\/3-tips-to-manage-your-growing-development-team\/\">director of development<\/a> at a nonprofit is tasked with running successful fundraising campaigns and achieving the organization\u2019s capital goals.<\/p>\n<p>Traditionally, the job of evaluating impact falls on the programs department. The trouble is that a programs team is primarily concerned with delivering resources and services, not analyzing how those programs affect the community. A programs director must puts the nonprofit\u2019s <a title=\"8 Innovative Teacher Residency Programs\" href=\"https:\/\/gofundme.to\/__proxy\/pro.gofundme.com\/blog\/8-innovative-teacher-residency-programs\/\">programs into action<\/a>. A director of impact determines if these programs are solving the problem at hand. Together, they can continually refine their approach for maximum impact.<\/p>\n<p>Young says that PoP spent years setting goals and tracking success based on outputs, like building a certain number of schools. But if students didn\u2019t attend the schools (due to social, familial, or transportation issues), building all those schools wouldn\u2019t make much progress. For PoP to have a true impact, they found it necessary to shift from tracking actions (schools built) to outcomes (children educated). \u201cIt really depends on how it\u2019s being received, on what\u2019s happening in the classrooms, on governments willing to partner,\u201d says Young. By taking these elements into consideration, PoP can learn if their funds are better spent on one action or another.<\/p>\n<p>Young\u2019s role as director of impact requires her to work closely with the organization\u2019s programs and transparency departments to understand not just what they are putting into a program, but what the community is getting out of it. From there, PoP can decide where to <a title=\"INFOGRAPHIC: What Your Nonprofit Should Invest in to Succeed\" href=\"https:\/\/gofundme.to\/__proxy\/pro.gofundme.com\/blog\/reasons-diversify-nonprofit-revenue-streams\/\">invest further<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Innovate Responsibly<\/h2>\n<p>Pencils of Promise is well-known in part because of their early adoption of peer-to-peer fundraising and their ability to connect fundraisers with the individual projects they support. When it comes to programs, smart innovations like these can lead to better outcomes. We only <a title=\"7 Inspiring Talks By Social Impact Leaders\" href=\"https:\/\/gofundme.to\/__proxy\/pro.gofundme.com\/blog\/7-inspiring-talks-by-social-impact-leaders\/\">find revolutionary solutions<\/a> by trying something new. But PoP is careful to balance new approaches with tried and true best practices.<\/p>\n<p>Young says that the most challenging part of her job is investing in programs they know are effective while still \u201cbeing innovative and open to learning and testing and trying new things.\u201d In other words, PoP wants to keep pursuing programs they already know work, but they still want to take advantage of opportunities to accelerate progress. A director of impact helps a nonprofit organization make smart choices on when to experiment and when to stay the course.<\/p>\n<h2>Course Corrections<\/h2>\n<p>Along with identifying effective programs to expand, directors of impact are also responsible for recognizing when a program isn\u2019t having the desired effect. How an organization responds to these roadblocks and failures ultimately makes a big difference in their ability to achieve their mission. When organizations recognize which programs are and are not successful, they can make smart decisions on how to move forward and make the biggest impact.<\/p>\n<p>For example, knowing that health and sanitation are an important factor in keeping kids in school, PoP created and implemented a program called SHINE (Sanitation, Hygiene, Identity, Nutrition, and Environment). Proud of having built the program internally, PoP shared the work with their supporters through stories on their website and pictures on Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, their data and observations eventually told them SHINE wasn\u2019t working as well as they wanted. Pencils of Promise saw that <a title=\"UNICEF\" href=\"https:\/\/www.unicef.org\/\">UNICEF<\/a>\u2019s WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene) program was more effective and decided to implement it in the communities they serve.<\/p>\n<a class=\"c-btn-primary\" href=\"https:\/\/gofundme.to\/__proxy\/pro.gofundme.com\/blog\/most-interesting-nonprofit-data-points\/\" target=\"_self\">Read Next: Director of Transparency &#8211; Your Most Important Hire<\/a>\n<p>\u201cIt took a lot of thinking like, \u2018alright, there is someone else that does this better than we do, much better than we do it in fact, so let\u2019s learn from them, adopt that,\u2019\u201d says Young. \u201cThis is an example of a time that we really saw the course that we were headed down\u2026wasn\u2019t as effective as it should be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But by recognizing this setback, explains Young, PoP was able to adopt a system that worked much better and did more to advance their mission.<\/p>\n<p>The social sector is learning that implementing a program doesn\u2019t guarantee your desired outcomes. You must identify and support the programs that truly make an impact on your mission. While impact is undeniably linked to programs, it\u2019s also affected by other factors, and having a director of impact ensures that the holistic results are influencing a nonprofit\u2019s decisions.<\/p>\n<p>Pencils of Promise is one organization <a title=\"VIDEO: Learn From the Best Social Impact Innovators\" href=\"https:\/\/gofundme.to\/__proxy\/pro.gofundme.com\/blog\/3-fun-and-unconventional-fundraising-ideas-to-spark-your-creativity\/\">leading the way in this new era of impact-centered work<\/a>, but many other nonprofits are creating roles specifically for evaluating and accelerating impact. Consider how your organization measures success and who is ultimately responsible for maximizing impact. It may be time to bring on your own director of impact.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More than ever, the social impact sector is focused not just on action, but on outcomes.
