Impact Genome Registry vs Outcome Tracker

Impact Genome Registry is a web service for standardizing and verifying social program outcomes. Nonprofits and social enterprises can report programs against one or more of 132 standardized outcomes spanning education, public health, human needs, arts and culture, and other areas. The Registry describes coverage of more than 2.2 million global nonprofits and social programs. Program information is self-reported, and verification uses data that programs already collect. Trained verifiers review annual impact claims and supporting evidence through standardized protocols. Verified programs may receive a Verified Impact Report and Verified Impact Units representing positive social outcomes. Nonprofit membership includes a one-to-one consultation, an annually shareable report, benchmarking, research tools, webinars, and ongoing support. Funder tools include charity search, impact forecasting, and portfolio analysis. Free self-reporting costs nothing; nonprofit membership costs $1,000, paid once per program.
