Polyeda
What it is
Polyeda is a paid, web and API platform for philanthropic organizations that combines feedback collection, impact measurement, monitoring, and data sharing. Its philanthropy tools support theory-of-change frameworks, outcome measurement, KPI tracking, and Social Return on Investment. Data can come from grantees, program participants, and field staff through multiple channels. Polyeda then produces monitoring and evaluation reports and dashboards for boards and other stakeholders. Measurement and contact-management modules maintain profiles for participants, alumni, grantees, and other stakeholders over time. Dynamic dashboards, beneficiary-satisfaction analysis, and AI analysis of open-ended responses help surface trends across programs, regions, and beneficiary groups. Customizable surveys include branching, randomization, no-code editing, and AI translation for more than 75 languages. Distribution options include web, social channels, email, SMS, WhatsApp, and API connections. Named integrations include Dynamics 365, Google Sheets, Salesforce, Gmail, and Zendesk. Pricing is available on request, and a free trial is offered without a stated duration.
