For foundations and philanthropic funders.
See how your investments in people and programs are actually working.
Foundations invest in social services to improve outcomes for people in need. The challenge is that most of that investment flows through independent organizations that each measure and report differently, making it difficult to see the full picture of what your funding is producing across a community.
The problem you recognize
Your grantees report on their own programs. They can tell you how many meals they served or how many households they assisted, but they can't tell you what happened to those people after they left. They don't know what other services those same people accessed, or whether the combination of support across multiple organizations actually helped them stabilize. You're funding the parts; no one can see the whole.
What Everest Effect® provides
Everest Effect® creates the shared data layer that makes it possible to see across organizational boundaries. Every record is linked to a real individual, built on their explicit consent, and protected by a privacy architecture that keeps sensitive personal information separate from the operational and outcome data that flows to funders and planners. When multiple providers in a community are on the Everest network, you can follow the journey of the people they collectively serve: what they needed, what they received, in what sequence, and what changed over time, without compromising the privacy of the individuals at the center of it.
What you get
01
Longitudinal outcome data
Track individuals across multiple providers and programs over time , with their consent, and with privacy protections that keep personal information secure. Understand what combinations of services are most effective , and what gaps are preventing people from stabilizing.
02
Unduplicated reach

03
Cross-provider impact visibility
For the first time, see the full service journey of the people your funding is designed to help , across every organization in your grantee network that uses Everest.
04
Community-level dashboards
Real-time and periodic reporting on service demand, supply, capacity, and outcomes across the providers you fund in a given community or region.
05
Evidence for future investment
Use longitudinal data to identify which interventions work, which populations are underserved, and where your next investment will have the greatest impact.
06
Grantee capacity building
By supporting Everest adoption among your grantees, you help smaller organizations access operational tools they couldn't afford individually , improving their data quality and your visibility simultaneously.
How foundations work with Everest Effect®
Everest Effect® has been deployed in partnership with community foundations and national funders. These partnerships typically involve funding Everest adoption across a cohort of grantees in a defined geography, creating a shared data layer that benefits every organization in the network and gives the funder unprecedented visibility into collective impact.
