For fiscal sponsors, being able to define, track, and articulate impact on constituent projects is critical when advocating for the resources. Understanding and setting strategic goals around organizational health and performance is equally important.

Social Impact Commons provides an annual Impact & Health Assessment tool and evaluation process with implementation support to provide insights concerning overall organization health, progress toward goals, and general impact on constituents.

In addition, we routinely provide more custom, targeted, or comprehensive analyses, assessments, and field research for our Members.

Social Impact Commons values ongoing learning with, among, and for our Members. Through our bi-weekly Member Conversation Series we provide space to step back from the daily grind and dive into topics large and small that concern fiscal sponsorship, commoning, social justice, and other aspects of our field. We also engage in ongoing knowledge creation and sharing with our Member community through special research and learning initiatives.

Fiscal sponsors and similar nonprofits we work with become our Organization Members. Organization Members can access all of the resources and support identified above. Additionally, Organization Members are able to participate in our peer governance process where they collectively appoint the majority of our board of directors.
