Measure and scale the impact of your giving.
Purpose
Measurable impact, predictable funding.
We create funding structures that disburse capital as impact is delivered — accountable for foundations, predictable for charities.
Existing funding models make it challenging for foundations to understand what impact they are generating. The one-time nature of existing funding models requires foundations to take on significant risk in giving, especially for large gifts. Many foundations compensate by conducting deep due diligence and applying restrictions when giving to new organizations or tackling new issue areas. As a result, foundations and the charities they fund are forced to spend significant time on the mechanics of giving, rather than the social issues they are tackling.
Eleos links funding to impact. We help foundations gain visibility into the outcomes their capital produces and scale the work their grantees do. The result:
- Foundations tie funding to program delivery and gain ongoing visibility into short-term and long-term outcomes.
- Charities access predictable, unrestricted funding, as well as simplified and integrated research and reporting.
- The sector aligns financial incentives with outcomes, channeling capital to and scaling organizations that generate measurable change.
