Impact Readiness Fund

  • Publications

The Impact Readiness Fund  (IRF) ran from 2014-16 and provided grants to support charities and social enterprises with building their impact measurement capability so that they could raise investment or secure contracts. Access and Big Society Capital co-funded a piece of research to answer the following questions:

  1. What has been the impact of the IRF on building the capability of charities and social enterprises to define, measure and manage their social impact?
  2. Has the support provided by the IRF enabled charities to progress towards winning investment or contracts?
  3. What additional impact has been delivered by charities and social enterprises as a result of receiving support from the IRF?
