Description


Company Background  

Impact Genome (IG) is a fast-growing SaaS company on a mission to change how the world measures social change. We verify the real-world impact of government programs, NGOs, and nonprofits—helping them prove what works and why.


At the center of our work is the Impact Genome Registry, the first-ever database with outcomes and cost benchmarks for over 2.2 million social programs. Federal, state, and local agencies, as well as Fortune 500 companies, use it to track results, uncover “what works,” and invest where their dollars will have the greatest impact. For nonprofits, we make evaluation fair, consistent, and less burdensome—so they can spend more time creating change and less time on reporting. 


Our mission is simple: help the world shift from “giving money away” to investing in proven outcomes that create the maximum possible social good.
