Susan and I have been longtime supporters of the wonderful ChangeX platform: ChangeX helps spread social innovation across communities. This week ChangeX introduced a new model for donors, which they are calling Impact as a Service (IaaS). This is a bit of a tongue-in-cheek reference to Infrastructure as a Service (also IaaS). It is spot on though as the two share important characteristics:

1. IaaS, reduces or even eliminates the overhead of manual setup activities, allowing all participants to focus on what actually delivers value. 
   
   

2. IaaS provides much more transparency – you can see exactly what you are paying for and what you get in return.
   
   

3. IaaS lets you start small and scale up.
   

Delivering IaaS is an important milestone for ChangeX. Paul and the team set out to build a true technology platform to make social programs more impactful and help them grow across the world. Their diligent investment is now starting to pay off, which is exciting. Congratulations to the team!
