Social Return on Investment

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Social Return on Investment, or SROI is an attempt to measure the social and financial value created by a non profit, NGO or business. It has not been proven to drive increased investment, but it is popular with academics and some consultancies. A number of services are now looking at analysing the 'investment' in charities as yielding a social return on investment. An example is Development Ratings which helps private donors evaluate and research charities that work in the developing countries.
