The Pathfinder Pilot, funded in part by the Investment Readiness Program, is approaching the end of year one of the three-year program. It has been a year full of learning about how the Common Approach impact measurement standards work across three networks of social purpose organizations (SPOs): the Network for Optimizing Food Impact, the Community Lending Network, and the Newfoundland and Labrador Social Enterprise and Innovation Coalition. Some of our assumptions going into the Pilot have been confirmed, while others have been challenged and adjusted. We recently met a significant milestone: all SPOs from all three participating networks have completed the software selection process. 

This sets us up to get started on exciting work sharing and aggregating data across these three networks of SPOs. More learnings are sure to come!
