PASSIONATE ABOUT DOING GOOD AND DOING IT WELL.

OUR MISSION

To support organizations through consulting, training, and capacity building so they are better equipped to measure and improve their social impacts, so that their impacts will be greater, and communities will experience increased well-being.

WHO WE ARE

Global SROI is a consulting firm that offers planning, evaluation, and capacity building services for organizations around the globe seeking to measure and maximize the social, environmental, and economic value that they create.

We are social entrepreneurs and innovators, strategists, thinkers and doers, service providers, educators and researchers, idealists and pragmatists united by a shared mission to do good and do it well.

At Global SROI, we specialize in cutting-edge approaches to strategic planning and impact evaluation, including social return on investment (SROI). In the same way that business plans contain much more information than the financial projections, our SROI analyses are much more than just a number. Our SROI analyses are stories about change, on which to base decisions, that include case studies, qualitative, quantitative and financial information.

We believe that understanding and valuing what matters to all key stakeholders is central to achieving impact goals and sustainability, and therefore lies at the heart of our approach. Whether you’re a non-profit organization seeking to measure and report the impacts you have within the communities you serve or you’re a funding agency trying to forecast or understand the value of your investments, we can help you achieve your goals.
