Our Impact
Rho Impact is committed to the pursuit of making a positive impact on the world. We see this as an aspiration that requires perseverance, humility, and collaboration. We believe so strongly in this mission that we freely contribute in a number of ways to methodological development, thought leadership, and capacity-building to strengthen the broader impact community.
We support NGO's and cross-sector coalitions focused on advancing the field for the betterment of organizations, communities, and people worldwide. Some of our pro bono and volunteer activities include:

Rho Impact continues to lead the development, implementation, and continued maintenance of the Carbon Reduction Assessment for New Enterprises (CRANE) tool in collaboration with the Prime Coalition for Catalytic Capital. CRANE remains to be the first and only free and open-source tool for assessing the carbon reduction potential of new climate technologies.
