Let’s design a better future, together.
We envision a future where all communities in the U.S. have the technology tools to measurably advance economic mobility.
Less than 3% of philanthropic investments go to technology support for Place Based Partnerships.
Data and technology infrastructure and scaffolding is required for all social impact programming, but is often underfunded and overlooked. Right now, there are enormous opportunities for the organizations and leaders who can clearly articulate and prove which interventions and programs are working, and what approaches led to great results.
Measure Well is a co-partner in helping Place Based Partnerships and cradle-to-career organizations tackle and rise to the challenge. We believe leaders deserve the best tools and technology, easier ways to understand and share what is working, and more opportunities to learn from each other. Our role is to help connect the dots and co-design solutions to solve tough problems.
Our areas of focus
We help Place Based Partnership networks, intermediaries, backbones, and the communities they serve, understand what interventions, programs, and investments are working to improve outcomes across seven cradle-to-career competencies in communities across the United States: preschool readiness, elementary reading, middle school math, high school graduation, postsecondary attendance, and job attainment.
The idea behind Measure Well
We believe organizations who can effectively communicate their impact are better positioned to secure additional investment in their communities. Measure Well partners with cradle-to-career organizations and Place Based Partnerships across the U.S. to create scalable and repeatable data, technology and AI solutions, and strengthen team skilling and capacity to make data-driven decisions that lead to even better community outcomes.

What is a Place Based Partnership?
A Place Based Partnership is a group of organizations working together to improve outcomes in a specific community.
That might include K-12 schools, colleges, universities, nonprofits, local government, employers, and community leaders working toward shared goals.
These partnerships understand that no single organization can solve complex community challenges alone. Measure Well supports the people leading that this work
