About the Book and Launch Event

Social Sector Hero – How Government and Philanthropy Can Fund for Impact is a brand new book by Clear Impact CEO Adam Luecking, and you are invited to the launch event!

For funders, effective data-based decision-making and public transparency are more important than ever. Social Sector Hero is for government and philanthropic funders looking to generate a higher return on investment, maximize the impact of funding on their communities, and improve communication with partners, stakeholders, and the public.

During the virtual launch event, our expert panelists will engage in a discussion around eight core strategies (introduced in the book):

  1. How to create and align with a larger common agenda
  2. How to sustain alignment with the common agenda
  3. How to get started with Performance Measures in the simplest way possible
  4. How and why to disaggregate your data for accurate analysis
  5. How and why to develop the story behind your data for meaningful analysis
  6. How to implement consistent and flexible grantmaking and reporting processes 
  7. How to use the data and corresponding story to initiate meaningful dialogue and action
  8. How and why to share your performance data, action plan, and reports publicly

Attendees will learn about effective strategies being used by real government and philanthropic funders like United Way Worldwide, the US Department of Education Promise Neighborhoods Program, March of Dimes, the Health Resources and Services Administration, and more!

Following the event, all attendees will have the opportunity to download the book for free.

Praise for Social Sector Hero

Adam is one of the top leaders in the worldwide Results-Based Accountability (RBA) community. In this important book, Adam brings new insights into the crucial role that funders play in measurably improving the quality of life in the communities they serve. Whether you are new to the concepts in this book or an experienced practitioner you will find useful advice and inspiring stories. I highly recommend it for both funders and their grantees.

Mark FriedmanMark Friedman, Director of the Fiscal Policy Studies Institute, creator of Results-Based Accountability, and author of Trying Hard is Not Good Enough

You will see yourself in this book; perhaps, even, in one or more of these Heroes’ journeys. Follow Adam’s advice for getting started on your own journey and just do it. His entertaining, sensible approach and unassuming way will give you the confidence you need to start looking at performance and accountability in a different way and to push through any challenges that stand in the way of your work towards a Common Purpose.

Marian Rueter Godwin, Director of Community Impact Services, United Way of Central Iowa

Social Sector Hero is a valuable manual, with easy-to-follow instructions on making the impact everyone in our sector dreams of making. As Adam states in Chapter Two, “No one entity can do this work in isolation.” It takes all of us, and Adam’s book helps light and direct a path forward. The book is a rich reminder that we can all be heroes.
