- 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:
- 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?
- Has the support provided by the IRF enabled charities to progress towards winning investment or contracts?
- What additional impact has been delivered by charities and social enterprises as a result of receiving support from the IRF?
