That is, anybody seeking to improve individual lives and societies have long felt the absence of a way to measure their influence in hard, analytic data. According to Elizabeth Dreicer, CEO of Posiba, a lot of them recognize that they need intelligent information to drive more positive impact, and they’re ready to adopt solutions that are both easily deployable and affordable. Posiba was created as a joint effort between Dreicer and the then COO of The California Endowment B. Kathlyn Mead. Their experiences serving on nonprofit and foundation boards, the two were driven to better understand the influence of charitable giving. However, they ran into the same lack of data and analysis; the duo set out to explore the market and start Posiba. The platform they built does the legwork by creating a hub of information in a community so organizations no longer have to collect information from scratch. According to the National Center for Charitable Statistics, in the US alone public charities hold over $3.0 trillion in assets with annual donor contributions and grant-making of approximately $350 billion.
