Grantee Gathering on The Importance of Communicating Social Impact

Building strong connections with partners requires good communication and transparency from both sides. Many seem to find that telling others about their impact is almost as hard as measuring it in the first place. Having tools and a platform to communicate with their donors and stakeholders provides structure and assistance to the process.

Inspirasia Foundation, as a grant-making foundation, works hand in hand with its partner non-profits, to be able to create more social impact as a team. Last month, Inspirasia Foundation held a two-day grantee gathering event, in which representatives of our grantees from Thailand, India and Indonesia came together at the Annika Linden Centre, to meet each other and share best practices and organisational challenges.

Our team at Inspirasia also explained how our grant-making process works, the role of the Annika Linden Centre’s team in supporting this process and how it focuses on understanding what changes have happened and what was achieved that goes beyond the numbers and targets. The process involves understanding the outcome and social impact the non-profit’s programs have made in changing lives, and communicating it to the donors in an effective and yet clear way.
