Resources
IFVI is developing a suite of educational and capacity building resources and materials to drive uptake of impact accounting.
If you are interested in exploring impact accounting, including applying the practice within your own organization, we want to connect with you.
If you are an individual or organization using these resources, data, or valuation tools, we are interested in hearing from you and learning from your research or use case. Visit our Contact us page.
Additional resources will be added to this page as they are developed.
