Community Power building
THE STORY BEHIND THIS WORK
Since 2019, Measure has provided over 3,000 hours of free data support to community-led organizations, equipping them with tools to develop impact-driven solutions, community metrics, and data collection strategies. While these organizations gained the ability to better serve their communities and secure funding, they still lacked:
- Tech solution to manage their data
- Relationships to further their mission
- Visibility of their great work
Then we decided to dig into the numbers...
