Foundations/Philanthropy – PwC ‘global’ view.
Impact Measurement – What, When and How.
Our view of Foundations
/Philanthropy

Global trends
The market foundations operate in is changing:
Non profits and foundations that are moving from grant to lending / funding to secure greater sustainability and reduced grant dependency (typically small scale, e.g.: Shell, Esmee Fairburn, Northern Rock Foundation and Acumen)
“Impact Investors” that have acted for some time to stimulate the market for sustainable investment on patient terms (e.g.: IFC, CDC) and are (typically) also motivated by other objectives
Private funds that see the potential to secure both private and social returns (e.g. tridDS, JP Morgan) and (typically) again are relatively small scale
New entrants that are needing to put in place instruments and institutions that will support and develop a new ‘market place’ (e.g.: Big Society Capital, GINN, TIMM) Raises the issue of future role(s) and where best to generate net additional impact.

Areas where foundations are crucial
Private sector can do business without public sector’s support
Private sector faces difficulties in business operation:
Public sector is required to support private businesses develop
Impact funds are required to support private businesses
Aid organisations philanth- ropic activities are required

How might you consider
measuring your value?

If our interpretation of trends and the role of
foundations is correct:
Increasing importance of understanding the relationships between market failures, economic and social (as well as environmental) impacts
Need to establish consensus on what require to measure, how interpret and implications for funding and net benefit maximisation
Require a common language and reporting system

How should we be measuring ‘it’?

PwC
How should we be measuring impacts
1. Scoping
2. Mapping
outcomes
3. Evidencing
and valuing
outcomes
4. Establishing
impact
5. Comparing
6. Communicating & improvingClarifies the boundaries of the impact analysis, who will be involved in the process and how.
Developing an impact map, or theory of change, which shows the relationship between inputs, outputs and outcomes. Sharing findings with stakeholders and responding to them, embedding good outcomes processes and verification of the report. Adding up all the benefits, subtracting any negatives and comparing the result to the
investment. Eliminates those
aspects of change that would have happened anyway or are a result of other factors. Finding data to show whether outcomes have happened and then valuing them. 10

Impact Assessment Indicators
Stage Sample Indicators
Output The number of nutritional foods produced at a production facility
Outcome The number of pupils who consumed the nutritional foods produced at the facility and whose nutritional status improved due to consumption
Impact
Overall education level and literacy rate is improved as the nutritional status improves in the area. Improved awareness on health and nutrition as the nutritional status of pupils improved. Spill-over effects to other development issues (from health to education).

Lessons learnt to date in impact measurement
• Understand why you want to undertake an impact assessment
• Define a set of hypotheses in relation to your actions and their potential effects
• Balance between data, open and closed questions to test these hypotheses
• Recognise that you will not always have only positive impacts – be open-minded and objective
• If possible, develop a logic chain to test whether you are generating impacts and the relationship between outputs, outcomes and impacts
• Focus on the counterfactual
• Question attribution
• Understand net, rather than gross impacts
A brief interlude – a lesson from
the UK?

Payments by Results
Radical change in commissioning landscape
Better service delivery and outcomes (e.g. ‘Early Intervention’)
Significant exchequer benefits that are ‘cashable’
Alternative forms of finance available to fund providers
New market
21
Payments by Results
Payment by Results provides a mechanism for aligning the interests of foundations, investors, providers and commissioners to deliver enhanced social outcomes to a specified target population. Target Population Commissioners Foundations/ Investors Providers © 2014 PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP
22
Payments by Results
Pre-conditions
There is an identified social need
In addressing this need other providers either independently or jointly with the public sector could potentially deliver better and new social outcomes
These outcomes may have public exchequer benefits in terms of cost efficiencies and/or cashable savings relative to status quo/alternatives
Alternative delivery therefore provides potential value for money outcomes
There is sufficient interest from social investors to fund providers
There is agreement by a commissioning body that if future outcomes are delivered
investors will receive a financial return
There are potential contractual routes to bring together commissioners, providers and investors
