Ford is using the UpMetrics impact analytics platform to be a source of knowledge and collaboration across the organization, with the goals of better understanding how complex social change happens and supporting the design and implementation of effective program strategies.

“The Ford Foundation seeks to mitigate deep-rooted and complex problems related to inequality, where transformative social change can take a long time and does not happen in a linear, easy-to-measure fashion. The UpMetrics platform has provided Ford with a new way to collect, categorize, and visualize our quantitative and qualitative data, aligning with our commitment to rigorously monitor progress in order to advance our understanding about how complex change happens,” said Subarna Mathes, Senior Strategy and Evaluation Officer, Office of Strategy and Learning, Ford Foundation.

Beginning by piloting the platform with a few programs, Ford is now incrementally rolling out UpMetrics to all of its programs.

“At UpMetrics, we believe that data-driven storytelling is essential for social impact organizations to drive action, and we are thrilled to be partnering with the Ford Foundation, who shares this belief. As the Ford Foundation works to solve complex social challenges, we are excited to be supporting the Foundation’s expanded ability to harness both quantitative and qualitative data to measure progress and communicate impact through storytelling,” said Drew Payne, CEO of UpMetrics.

As part of the partnership, UpMetrics is collaborating closely with Ford to shape the Company’s product roadmap to ensure that new platform features and functionality are aligned with the evolving needs of dynamic impact organizations pursuing social change.
