"With Sopact we have elevated our transparency and power of making data driven decisions."

The Steinman Foundation requires a centralized data system to evaluate its STEM Alliance programs' impact, as disjointed Survey Monkey responses hinder effective resource allocation and evidence-based reporting to the Board.

Surveys that would not add up

The Steinman Foundation funds skill and education programs in Lancaster County — a STEM Alliance, after-school project-based learning — against three outcomes: soft skills, hard STEM skills, and STEM-career awareness.

SurveyMonkey surveys did not aggregate, which blocked resource allocation and evidence for the board.

Program and aggregated dashboards

Sopact set strategies and outcomes and built program-level and aggregated dashboards, including price-per-outcome tracking.

The foundation engages stakeholders directly rather than reading summarised partner reports, saving the time once spent analysing grantee PDFs.

Fund what works

A centralised board dashboard lets the foundation direct funding toward the programs the evidence supports — smarter, faster, more resource-efficient operations.

The Steinman Foundation requires a centralized data system to evaluate its STEM Alliance programs' impact, as disjointed Survey Monkey responses hinder effective resource allocation and evidence-based reporting to the Board.

"Our foundation stands out in its approach to data collection, engaging directly with stakeholders rather than depending on summarized reports from partners. With Sopact we have elevated our transparency and power of making data driven decisions. More than that, we save substantial time that was previously spent analyzing PDF reports from grantees and conserve resources only funding impactful programs. Our strategy isn't just about collecting information—it's about smarter, faster, and more resource-efficient operations."
