Third-party impact assessments and reports

Whether you are an investor or a company tasked with communicating your impact to outside stakeholders, having a third-party validate and report your impact helps ensure you have a credible and transparent message.

LifeCity specializes in New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) financing impact studies. Whether you are acting in the NMTC space as a CDE, investor, CDFI, or as a Qualified Active Low-income Community Business (QALICB), LifeCity can help you tell your story of impact. Our impact reporting services are available at any stage of the NMTC allocation process, from pre-closing low-income community (LIC) and economic analysis studies, to establishing a strong Community Benefits Agreement, to post-investment evaluation to validate impact outcomes.

Third-Party Impact Reports provide:

  • A simple, personalized design

  • Stories told through the lives of the people you touch

  • A beneficial assessment that simultaneously supports your client and business interests

  • Increased credibility to investors and funders

  • Standardized impact indicators that align with national metrics like GIIRS, B Corps Certification, LEED, and others.

ESG Reporting

Consumer demand for companies to behave in a socially responsible manner is increasing. As a result, it has never been more important for businesses to be able to clearly explain and market their impact.

Environment, social, and governance (ESG) reporting is the premier method for reporting your company’s impact to your clients, customers, and investors. LifeCity can help you track, report, and market your impact through web- and print-based ESG reports that can be updated annually. LifeCity can also help you build an impact management system (IMS) that will allow you to identify key impact areas for your business and to track your ESG progress in real time. 

Let us help you increase your company’s impact while ensuring that you meet customer demand for ESG accountability. Contact us today to learn more!

Impact management systems

Do you have a process for understanding how your organization measures impact? You may benefit from an Impact Management System (IMS).

Like any system, what we measure is often what gets done. LifeCity can help your team define your own impact goals and strategies and integrate them into daily operations. Instead of poring over spreadsheets and searching for data, your IMS helps you aggregate your impact into one dashboard.

Pipeline validation

Perhaps you are considering a new investment or project and want to ensure that your impact assumptions are correct. LifeCity can validate your assumptions through third-party sources and standards to ensure that you are making a strong investment. Contact us to learn more!
