MCF is excited to announce the launch of a 3-year partnership with Impala, the unified platform for the nonprofit sector that is revolutionizing how social impact is funded, measured and achieved.
By scraping billions of data points on nonprofit organizations, Impala provides accessible, actionable insights to nonprofits, grantmakers, and networks to help optimize their efforts in due diligence, portfolio evaluation, prospect research, and more.
Thanks to this partnership:
- Funders can streamline due diligence with access to nonprofits’ finances, current funders, and impact - all without asking a single question
- Nonprofits can save time on prospect research and identify organizations that are highly aligned with their mission
- All Minnesota nonprofits and foundations can analyze any nonprofit ecosystem, anywhere in the country - explore who’s involved, how the organizations compare, key financial trends, and more.
This 3-year partnership officially kicked off on October 29th, 2024, with a launch event hosted by Impala and MCF. Visit impala.digital/mn to sign up and get access to these benefits. View the October 2024 launch video that explains the power of Impala.
