Measuring Impact and SROI

NPOs have three purposes:

1.    To make a difference
2.    To generate income
3.    To tell people about the good work they do

Without any impact data you won’t know if your NPO is making a difference, you’ll struggle to generate income and you won’t have any data to showcase the good work you do.

But impact measurement and SROI (Social Return on Investment) are often seen as complicated, confusing and time consuming, so many NPOs don’t bother with it.

What if you could apply a lean approach to impact measurement?  One that makes impact measurement simple and easy to implement, whilst still providing valid impact data to help you better communicate the difference your NPO makes to funders, commissioners and corporate partners?  Alongside this stand out from other organisations by using SROI to value your impact and the potential savings you generate for statutory agencies.

If you can successfully measure your impact and calculate your SROI, your NPO will be in a stronger position.
