100 INNOVATIONS AND CAPABILITIES
AMPLIFY SOCIAL IMPACT ONLINE
UNSW RESEARCH
Australian ' s spend $ 510 billion on social purpose programs and initiatives , yet we often don ’ t know if they are effective . The for purpose and charity sectors are limited by resources , technical capacity and access to evidencebacked outcome measures .
The vision of Amplify Social Impact Online ( Amplify Online ) is to improve access to evidence-based decision making for as many of the 52,000 registered charities in Australia as possible . Amplify Online is a world-first tech solution with two components . The first is an Indicator Engine ( completed and launched ) that enables organisations to ask the right questions , in the right way , to the right people . The engine also allows them to collect this data easily , securely and flexibly .
The second component is Yardstick ( under development ). It will provide auto-analysis of an organisation ’ s impact that is meaningful , relevant and benchmarked against national data . The organisation is looking for funding partners to help realise its full potential and achieve social impact at scale – in Australia and beyond .
