Suggested Impact Criteria for the Matrix Map assessment.

Here’s a starter list of core criteria for assessing the impact portion of the Matrix Map.

  1. Alignment with core mission: how well does this program fit with our core mission?
  2. Contribution to social impact vision: is this program essential to achieving our social impact vision?
  3. Excellence in execution: is the program exceptionally well delivered? How well does it fit our capabilities/capacity?
  4. Scale: how many people/organizations/entities are affected or changed by the program?
  5. Depth: how deeply are the program participants influenced or changed by the program?
  6. Community/constituency building: does the program expand our community of constituents?
  7. Significant unmet need: would the absence of this program leave a hole in the marketplace or safety net? Is there significant competition with similar offerings? If this program went away, would the demand be met elsewhere?
  8. Leverage: does the program expand our network of external relationships/partnerships/supporters or funding? Are there synergies?
