Financial Modeling meets Social Good: How Modeling Social Impact Helps the World

Join us for an event focused on the use of private sector best practices to improve social outcomes for non-profits and social entrepreneurs.

Financial analysis --typically used in the private sector--can and should be adapted for use by non-profits, social entrepreneurs, and others seeking to improve the world as much as they can.

Our speakers will share case studies in which they applied financial modeling, system models, causal modeling, and other analytic methods to increase the efficiency, scale, funding, and sustainability of non-profit and social-impact organizations.

Key questions we will address are:

What is a non-profit "worth," and why does that matter? How do you tell which non-profit models will scale well? How do impact models make it easier for donors and sponsors to see how much social impact their grants and donations will unlock? How do you make sure the organization itself is ready to deliver on that promise? These are essential questions for today's generation of fact-based altruists, donors, and CSR funds, many of whom are using more analysis and more data-driven methods to maximize the impact of their investments in improving the world.

Notes:
