Approach
The Investmeant Fund will produce an annual Impact Report that outlines the specific grants and underlying impact your investment has made possible. Approach and measurement methods will vary based on the investment. In addition, investors and their families will be invited to updates and experiences. To visit venues and tangible social enterprises that the Fund has either seeded or helped support growth in.
SDGs
As a fundamental starting point for The Investmeant Fund's impact mapping, all impact measurement is attributed to the relevant SDG(s) based on the appropriate indicators.
We have assessed our investment's impact across the 17 SDGs to help match with investor preferences. Most investors would already be very familiar with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
For those seeking more information, a summary of each of the 17 goals, please review this booklet and also the indicator list used to by organisations to map and attribute impact.
Additional information explaining the relevance and relationship between the SDGs and investing in the impact required to achieve them can be is available at:
The Pure Collective
The Pure Collective are currently working with Deloitte in evaluating ways to better measure the impact of the group's social businesses and Foundation. The goal is to establish a structured impact reporting framework that captures outputs, social metrics and social outcomes in a meaningful way. As an interim way of reporting impact, some highlights have been collated to demonstrate metrics and indicators that have been captured so far.
Folo is a free extension for computer browsers that enables anyone to generate donations for causes they care about, just by shopping online. When browsing Google or visiting a store online, Folo highlights the retailers who will donate to causes on your behalf. Every time you make a purchase, the retailer pays a percentage of the sale to your Folo account. This gives you the power to use your Folo balance to support non-profits you care about - at no extra cost to you. Our current beta version has over 3000 users and has generated over $30,000 in donations for 65 charities.

The Pure Foundation is an innovative philanthropic trust that is the cornerstone of The Pure Collective. Although the Foundation is still in its infancy, it's purpose is broad and evolving. It seeks to harness an eco-system style mission rather than targeting just one specific social cause or outcome: "To co-create and embody instruments of peace” It operates a 100% "to cause" model, which means that any donation made to the foundation will ultimately go to cause areas without any dilution. All administration, compliance and audit costs are covered by The Pure Collective social businesses.
