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.
