Charities & Not-for-Profits
Enabling you to amplify your impact.
You're working every single day to solve some of society's toughest issues.
But behind the scenes, you're also making critical decisions about the future of your organisation and responding to increasingly competitive funding environments. To maximise the good you can do and determine the most efficient use of your resources, you must develop a deep understanding of your impact and be able to clearly articulate it to your internal and external stakeholders.
All of this means that it’s more important than ever for your organisation to build resilience, cultivate strong leadership and deploy smart strategies for implementation, sustainability and scaling.
We can work closely with you to provide tailored, expert advice and strategies so that you can focus on what you do best – advancing your mission.

Our work in action
Fighting Chance
We created a Theory of Change and set of indicators for two of Fighting Chance’s social enterprises and an impact measurement framework for Fighting Chance.
Cancer Council
We conducted comprehensive research and then presented a report on best practice by charities in creating compelling and engaging stories which will inform Cancer Council’s future storytelling campaigns.
ActionAid
We conducted research on the challenges and successes of gender-responsive public services in eight different countries to inform ActionAid’s advocacy aimed at creating laws to protect women from violence in public spaces.
“The Theory of Change framework the Social Impact Hub team developed for us gets right to the heart of what we are aiming to do, and will underpin Fighting Chance’s growth in the next few years by keeping us focused on the impact we are trying to have.”
