Introduction

The UpMetrics brand extends beyond the solutions we provide and the technology we build. We provide the common ground where real, data-driven conversations about community impact happen.

Mission

UpMetrics empowers impact organizations to be data driven. We provide tools and services for programs and funders to analyze, interpret, and learn from data to make informed decisions, build capacity, and tell their stories.UpMetrics exists to elevate people doing positive work in their communities.

Our goal is to support those who are doing good for their communities, whether it be through access to interest-based activities, health and wellness programs, or mentoring.

Audience

Our audience ranges from classroom teachers, to program managers, to executive directors and funders. The work we do speaks to each demographic because we are building a data-sharing ecosystem that links stakeholders together.

Attendance and engagement data are more than numbers.

Partner Approach

UpMetrics is about community first. We partner with people and organizations to help them accomplish their goals.

Telling Our Story

We’re honest, inclusive, and committed to the work we do because we care about our partners. We celebrate their success — that’s what motivates us.

Voice and Tone

Our focus on the work our partners are doing in the community puts the spotlight on them first — we exist to lift them up. That means we’re:

  • Earnest, but not sentimental
  • Honest, careful, and respectful about what we share
  • Energetic, but not cheesy
  • Expert, but not condescending
  • Inclusive
  • Curious
  • Informal, but professional

Beyond Data

Data is key to our work. But what makes us unique is our ability to work with our clients at every level to help them collect, analyze, and interpret their data to drive decision making, inform program design, and tell their stories.
