About Adopting Common Measures
Adopting Common Measures was a national three-year project that supported Social Purpose Organizations to measure and track their impact towards the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Adopting Common Measures was led by the Centre for Social Innovation (CSI), in partnership with SI Canada, Canadian Community Economic Development Network (CCEDNet) and the Common Approach to Impact Measurement. This project was funded in part by the Government of Canada’s Sustainable Development Goals.
The program has now closed. We invite you to explore the profile series highlighting key social purpose organizations across Canada, showcasing their impact and the progress they are making towards a more sustainable future for Canadians in keeping with Canada’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
As part of the Adopting Common Measures program, you will get:
- One-on-one sessions to help kickstart your impact conversation
- Facilitated workshops on the Common Foundation Approach to Impact Measurement
- Access to a Community of Practice with similar organizations who want to know more about the benefits of tracking their impact and aligning their goals with the SDGs
- Complimentary access to CSI’s Impact Dashboard to input your data, measure your impact and generate elegant reports to share with your supporters and funders
Community of Practice
Take part in a nationwide discussion around how your organization can effectively track, measure and report progress towards your impact goals.
Through facilitated conversations, content expert presentations, peer-learning, resources and software, the community is there to support your work.
The Community of Practice is free to join and membership is open to Canadian organizations wanting to learn or improve their capacity in social impact measurement.
Members who complete all sessions will receive a Professional Development Certificate: Tracking Social Impact using Common Foundations. This certificate will confirm an understanding and application of the planning, measuring and reporting efforts of your impact.
Our Adopting Common Measures Community of Practice – Cohort 3 kicks off on Wednesday, February 1, 2023. The Community of Practice will meet every two weeks from February 1 to May 10 hosting 8 sessions in total.
