About Upshot
Part impact partner.
Part critical friend.
Part data translator.
Upshot is a nonprofit social enterprise that has spent more than a decade helping organizations understand and strengthen their impact. We combine practical strategy, intuitive technology and human support, working with funders, nonprofits and purpose-led organizations around the world.
We believe impact measurement should help people make better decisions, not simply produce better reports. That means starting with what is useful, building only what is needed and making sure the people doing the work can actually use it.
