📈 Data for Impact!

Most organizations say they make a difference. Few can prove it.
Impact Measurement and Management (IMM) has moved from a niche practice to a boardroom imperative, driven by investor scrutiny, funder expectations, and growing demand for accountability. Yet many still measure what’s easy, not what matters.

In this talk, Bryn Sadownik, Senior Manager of Research & Evaluation at Vancity Community Foundation, and Md Islam, IMM researcher and impact consultant, cut through the noise. Drawing on field-tested frameworks and real consulting experience, they share practical insights on building IMM systems that work—from Theory of Change to actionable data pipelines.
