NPC’S four pillar approach

The charity think tank NPC, New Philanthropy Capital, believes in impact measurement as a way for charities and funders to increase their effectiveness. It helps organizations to measure what they do and deliver the best results for their beneficiaries. The four pillar approach which provides clear and practical guidance on developing an impact measurement framework was published in 2014. The report proposes four steps: 1) Map your theory of change, 2) Prioritize what you measure, 3) Choose your level of evidence, 4) Select your sources and tools.
