Impact Study Reports
The frequency of when impact studies are conducted is determined by several factors including, but not limited to, an organization’s size, the degree of change since the previous impact study, and an organization’s specific needs.
Slingshot is committed to learning and improvement, which means we continuously refine and enhance our evaluation dimensions to account for the most up-to-date poverty-fighting research. While we encourage philanthropists to reference impact studies from previous years, note that year-over-results are not directly comparable.
