Measuring social impact across programs just got easier
Enquire’s vertical hierarchy makes managing and measuring social impact across the funding programs, rounds and projects throughout your portfolio easy. By connecting data across these tiers, Enquire simplifies and streamlines complex lifecycle management processes – such as linking project costs to contract milestones and reviewing this financial data at the program level.
With Enquire, users have even more control and convenience over their configurable impact and performance indicators. Enquire users can tell stronger stories about their program outcomes with aggregated indicator data. This also makes it easier to extract indicator data from the system for your external reporting requirements. Let’s take a look at how our results aggregation features and indicator-centric single click report work.
An overview of Enquire’s results aggregation
The results feature allows you to manage reporting indicators across the hierarchy of your portfolio. This means you can easily capture key data from one facet of your larger funding program and show how it relates to your organisation’s mission. By enabling you to draw results down from higher tiers, say from the funding round level down to the individual grant or project level, you are able to request that delivery agents report against these specific indicators.
Moving back up Enquire’s vertical hierarchy you will see rolled up targets and actuals under their respective program or round. This gives you a clear snapshot of a particular indicator’s overall progress to date. This view can also highlight particularly successful projects, or those that may require additional guidance.
Likewise, this aggregated grant outcome data is extremely useful for reporting back to an organisation’s external funders. This helps organisations paint the clearest possible image of their results, and their impactful management of those funds. These reports are the key to securing the repeat future funding that enables for-purpose organisations to scale their programs. Impact reporting therefore lends these organisations an important edge in the increasingly competitive social impact funding landscape.
It is also possible, at say the project level, to see which indicators have been drawn down from higher tiers and which have been achieved outside of contractual or planned requirements. This is a great way to identify and report uncontracted project targets and actuals up to the round or program level.

Reporting on social impact outcomes across your entire portfolio
Enquire also contains a number of single click reports, such as the indicator results report which makes it easier than ever to get indicator data into your business intelligence and analytics tools. It works by extracting the indicator data from across your programs, rounds, and projects. This is an extremely convenient way to save and record all the indicators throughout your portfolio in one clear view.
With Enquire it’s easier than ever to manage and measure your social impact reporting indicators:
- Create and contract indicators at a parent level e.g. round, and then draw these indicators down to the project level.
- Report at the project level and see rolled up targets and actuals at the parent round level – assess how projects are performing relative to one another and the broader round-level targets.
- Identify where indicators have been drawn from– gain a clear overview of which outcomes were achieved outside of contracted targets.
- Export all indicator data with a new one click report that extracts data from throughout your portfolio.
