We help communities prove they're better off.

Who We Are

Clear Impact helps government agencies, nonprofits, foundations, and communities move beyond counting how many people they serve — to proving that lives are measurably better off. We combine performance management software, expert training, and hands-on consulting, all built on the proven Results-Based Accountability™ (RBA) framework, to help mission-driven organizations turn data into real, lasting impact.

Our performance-improvement experts work side by side with public-sector leaders, executive directors, and program teams to set measurable expectations, identify the right indicators, and continuously track the progress of programs and partners — so decisions are driven by evidence, not guesswork.

And our easy-to-use, web-based software suite — the Clear Impact Scorecard, Compyle, and Showcase — makes it simple to collect data, standardize reporting, measure progress, and show stakeholders exactly how communities are getting better off, at a local, regional, and national scale.

The Home of Results-Based Accountability™

Clear Impact holds the exclusive, worldwide rights to Results-Based Accountability™ (RBA) and the intellectual property behind it. Acting on behalf of RBA founder Mark Friedman and the Fiscal Policy Studies Institute, we protect the fidelity of the framework by licensing its commercial use to consultants and organizations. RBA/OBA intellectual property remains free to use — with attribution — by government, nonprofit, and voluntary-sector organizations.

We are also the only organization able to certify practitioners and consultants in the RBA framework. In other words, when you partner with Clear Impact, you’re learning RBA from the source.
