Designed for Allocators and their Advisors, a First-of-Its-Kind Database Which Provides Transparency and Credible Evaluations about the Authenticity, Impact and Financial
New York, NY, April 14, 2026 – Impact Evaluation Lab (IEL), the financial services and data analytics firm dedicated to helping allocators invest in impact with greater confidence, today announced the launch of its premier investment advisory product, the Impact Navigator. The Impact Navigator offers asset owners and their advisors access to a uniquely comprehensive database that quantifies the authenticity and impact generated by an investment strategy, alongside credible projections for financial performance.
Designed to bring the rigor of the capital markets to impact, the Impact Navigator provides allocators with access to high-caliber data about impact investment funds through an intuitive and easily-operated search engine. The database currently contains profiles of more than 600 funds, many of which have been authenticated. New funds are being added daily. Subscribers to the Impact Navigator can also request reviews of specific impact funds when more information is desired.
Fully accredited funds have completed IEL’s Impact Authenticity Score (IAS) process, a first-of-its-kind comprehensive evidence-based review. IEL’s IAS methodology—developed in conjunction with the Sorenson Impact Institute at the University of Utah—goes beyond impact metrics, evaluating a fund’s mission alignment and impact integration, team composition and experience, impact execution, and financial performance. Designed to serve both allocators and fund managers, the IAS functions as a comprehensive, first layer of due diligence, providing actionable insights that illuminate strategy, build trust, and improve transparency across the entire impact investment ecosystem.
“We are delighted to bring impact allocators and advisors IEL’s Impact Navigator, a first-of-its-kind database that assesses verifiable impact outcomes alongside a fund’s financial performance,” said Terry Keeley, co-founder and CEO of IEL. “Unlike ESG, sustainable, faith-based and values-based investing, impact investing generates verifiable societal and environmental change. This amplifies the need for greater transparency and standardization. IEL’s analytics help allocators and advisors identify the best impact strategies to achieve their specific financial and non-financial goals. Through our Impact Navigator and IAS studies, investors and those who serve them will be able to find the managers and strategies that best align with their priorities, ultimately solving many of tomorrow’s problems today.”
The Impact Navigator will prove valuable for a wide range of investors and advisors, including family offices, wealth advisors, foundations, endowments, sovereign wealth funds, DFIs, other institutional investors, impact-minded UHNW individuals, and impact funds themselves.
