Actionable information for the social impact investor
Social Impact Research focuses exclusively on the needs of social impact investors. We aggregate, analyze, and disseminate the best information available about social issues and the performance of nonprofit organizations so that social impact investors and their financial advisors are able to make better informed philanthropic choices.
Traditionally, philanthropy ended when the check was written. Donors did not concern themselves with the performance of the nonprofit organizations they funded. Today, social impact investors take a more entrepreneurial and engaged approach to identify and support organizations that can maximize social impact.
Charitable donations have reached unprecedented levels: more than $250 billion annually. However, there is an extraordinary lack of reliable and useful information about social issues and the performance of nonprofit organizations. As a result, linking funding to nonprofit performance is difficult, and billions of dollars in philanthropy do not achieve their potential impact.
Social Impact Research reports apply the quality of analysis and actionable investment insight available to private sector investors in a familiar and concise format that assesses the opportunities and risks facing organizations working within the most challenging social subsectors. SIR will offer three core reports to thoroughly analyze a particular subsector in a particular geographic area. To learn more about our suite of reports
