Every Wellspring report is grounded in five wellbeing frameworks — Māori, Pacific, and international — so your impact is understood on its own terms from the start. These are official frameworks from Treasury, the Ministry for Pacific Peoples, and international bodies: they carry over between governments and aren't tied to any one administration. Here’s what sits behind your report.
Map your inputs to social outcomes — including the consequences you didn't plan for. Grounded in NZ's wellbeing frameworks and the Social Investment Agency guidance.
Built for organisations that don't have in-house impact measurement expertise on staff — Wellspring fills that gap, so you don't need to hire a consultant to show the real value of your work.
Start simple, go deeper when ready.
Investment is everything it cost to run this initiative for the year you're measuring: salaries, contractor fees, venue, materials, a fair share of overheads. Use the real total — understating it inflates your return and funders will notice.
The adjustment factors stop you over-claiming. If you're unsure, the conservative defaults below are a sound starting point. Lower them only when you have evidence to justify it (e.g. a control group showing the change wouldn't have happened anyway).
