COLUMBUS, Ohio, December 8, 2020—SureImpact, the software platform that empowers mission-driven organizations to manage, measure, and communicate their unique social impact, today announced it has successfully closed its seed funding round. The capital will support the company’s efforts to scale operations and further develop its proprietary, cloud-based platform. The funding round was led by Rev1 Ventures with co-investments from Queen City Angels and Connetic Ventures.
The nation’s $3.8B social sector market has moved from focusing on tracking the number of clients served to track how they have improved individuals and communities' lives. The community foundations that provide much of the funding for nonprofit organizations have begun requiring social impact stories to grant grantees funding. This leaves many organizations struggling with how to measure impacts and outcomes in a meaningful way.
SureImpact connects the entire social ecosystem with a customizable case management platform that gives social service organizations a way to measure what they have done, who they serve, and how well they serve them. Developed by Sheri Chaney Jones, a seasoned entrepreneur, researcher, and thought leader on social impact measurement, SureImpact is the only case management and reporting solution specifically designed for the nonprofit sector to measure, track, and manage their unique social impact.
“After 20 years of consulting and helping organizations share their impact stories, it was clear there was no available solution. We are connecting nonprofits and funders with the needed real-time data tracking and social impact reporting,” said SureImpact CEO Sheri Chaney Jones. Jones has worked alongside hundreds of social sector organizations nationwide using measurement to accelerate social change. Chaney Jones was recently named a Future 50 Award 2020 honoree by Columbus CEO and Executive of the Year as part of Columbus
Business First’s BizTech Awards.
“We’re passionate about our clients, their causes, and the communities they serve. This new round of funding will increase SureImpact’s ability to help social sector organizations use data to tell their stories of impact and drive success,” said Chaney Jones.
