Stories of change

In the words of the people
doing the work.

Exceeded expectations
Melon is such a powerful tool. It brings our impact together in one place and lets us show the difference our work makes, clearly and credibly. We’re so excited to share our new impact data with the world. It has exceeded all our expectations, and the Melon team has been a delight to work with.
Nicole Lee · CEO, Hello Sunday Morning
Community connection
We really grapple with how impact can be measured, particularly around community connection. This is one of the best examples I’ve seen. The Melon platform makes the impact of this work visible in a way that’s clear, compelling, and incredibly useful.
Debra Morgan · Chief Executive Officer, Helen Macpherson Smith Trust · Melbourne
Measuring portfolios
Measuring the impact of leadership programs across ten organisations, each with different contexts, histories and ways of operating, is no small task. Melon made it possible, moving us from anecdotal reporting to a genuine cross-organisational evidence base. For anyone serious about understanding and communicating its impact, Melon delivers.
Julie-Ann Dodson · Executive Officer, Regional Leadership Collective · Regional Victoria
Global measurement
From what I’ve seen, Melon stands out because it addresses a real challenge for mission-driven organizations: making complex impact measurable, practical, and beautifully communicated. That feels especially relevant for organizations trying to tell a credible story about the change they create.
Kiera Murphy · Global impact leader · San Francisco
Real evidence
Melon gives us a powerful platform to report the impact of our work in multiple ways. So now we can use real evidence to understand what’s working, to learn and improve, and to demonstrate our value to stakeholders.
Katherine Ellis · CEO, Leadership Victoria · Melbourne
