Resources

There is no standardized approach to impact strategies, just like there is no standardized definition for what people mean when they use the word. We believe rigorous, research-based strategies, like the ones we employ, will help build consensus about what storytellers means when they say “impact,” and what they should expect from impact specialists.

In the meantime, we are happy to share resources we have found useful for exploring, funding, and measuring impact through storytelling.
