The 2025 Annual Impact Review

With 4 years left until 2030, 50% of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are still progressing too slowly. Given that only 18% of the SDGs are on track, the question is: how can we turn these challenges into opportunities?

By sharpening our focus for the 2025-2028 period, we aim to be part of the solution. Our strategy, “Analytics to Amplify: Unlocking the Potential of Data for Global Impact,” and Theory of Change provide a clear path forward. They help us focus on where we can contribute most: unlocking the power of analytics and AI to help organizations drive meaningful, sustainable, and scalable impact.

Our vision is not a dream, but a reality that can be achieved (1) if mission-driven organizations are given access to usable tools & an active learning community, (2) and if they receive hands-on training, mentorship, & analytics application support from the community. Then they will strengthen the internal capacity to adopt and apply analytics effectively, which will lead to efficient operations, more strategic data-driven decision-making, improved service delivery, and ultimately accelerate progress on the SDGs as they can advance their cause with more impact, using fewer resources, reaching impact at scale.

At the root of the systemic change are projects carried out through impactful partnerships that advance progress towards the SDGs. Impact projects such as those with Médecins Sans Frontières (on creating a simulation model for warehouse policy impact) or The Ocean CleanUp (on an optimized ocean cleaning timeline from 10 to 5 years and with costs from $7.5B to $4B) prove how meaningful partnerships have catalyzed our strategic goal of turning data into real-world impact.
