Connecting Data to Values: Pay for Success at Do Good Data 2016

Brian Beachkofski, Senior Director – Third Sector’s Boston Office

Third Sector coordinated a panel session on Pay for Success at the recent Do Good Data Conference hosted by the Impact Lab in Chicago. A standing-room-only crowd came to learn how we can use measured outcomes to bring effective programs to those most in need. Alongside Sarah Jalbert from Abt Associates, Sotun Krouch from Roca, and Eileen Neely of Living Cities, each providing their perspectives on Pay for Success, we were able to fully illustrate the innovative model why it is an effective way for communities to address social issues.

Pay for success (PFS) projects are about measurably improving the lives of people in need through an innovative contracting model that drives government resources toward high-performing social programs. Data fuels this process by informing procurement decisions, identifying those most in need, and evaluating services delivered to them.
