Impact
Impact is at NooS core. We vet projects with measurable and cost-efficient impact. To measure impact, we use indicators in each of our 7 action areas, in alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Proximity design
We favor projects that are home grown. The closer the organization operates to the challenge, the higher is the probability that solutions will work. We believe in projects that put local beneficiaries and their needs at the center of their impact as this ensures a more sustainable implementation.

Innovation & scalability
We prefer projects that can be implemented in different contexts and adjust their sails when needed. These projects offer innovative solutions that go beyond their initial plan and address endemic problems from new perspectives.

Transparency & expertise
Our Impact Organizations must abide by our financial transparency rules. They must disclose statements on costs related to project implementation, coordination, and fundraising; they also provide activity reports. Our goal is to maximize the Return on Donation for the causes we support.

Communication proficiency
Beyond impact, we think that transparent and regular feedback to donors regarding both encountered difficulties and progress is essential. We ask our Impact Organizations to report on their results twice a year and provide quarterly updates on their projects' progress.
