Impact Charitable unites catalytic philanthropists with community partners, financial institutions, foundations, social enterprises, and governmental bodies. As an Impact Capital Catalyst, Impact Charitable unlocks and accelerates capital that sparks positive change. We move more money, in more ways, to more people and places.
The Impact Evaluation Lab brings clarity and accountability to impact investors, aligning impact investment strategies with traditional capital-markets expectations so the impact sector can scale with integrity and become a trusted part of mainstream finance.
Through our flagship tools, the Impact Authenticity Score and the Impact Navigator, the Impact Evaluation Lab provides assessments of mission alignment, impact execution and financial performance to identify funds which deliver on their impact commitments. Developed in partnership with leading impact organizations, fund managers and asset owners, the IEL tools provide practical, actionable insight and analyses for fund managers and asset owners, empowering confident allocation decisions in the impact investing sector.
Our mission is to provide the tools and develop the trust that is required by all asset owners and investors to enable impact investing to fulfill its potential as part of the core architecture of global financial markets.
