Social Return On Investment

Abstract

To show sceptics some hard evidence on your project's accomplishments, check out the Return on Investment Tool under development by the Roberts Enterprise Foundation of San Francisco. It interprets the transformative impact of nonprofit organizations in terms of three types of measurable value (economic, socio-economic, and social). It uses this tool to make investment decisions and to get a firmer grasp of the full range of accomplishment for which Third Sector organizations are responsible.
