Measuring your social impact can be quite daunting. How do you know that your $1,000 donation to the homeless shelter actually has the intended ripple effect?

Several models have been developed over the years in measuring Social Return on Investment. This tool is used to communicate back to shareholders the financial return on social investing. As an individual this tool can be used in helping you evaluate whether you should increase your support to an agency and how impactful your initial investment was. Dexterity Consulting conducts a social impact study on your charitable investments in order for you to make informed decisions on your giving.

Our approach to social impact assessment is a combination of several models that have been developed over the years. You can connect directly to some of those models through our Links and Resources section of this website.

Dexterity Consulting believes in providing free access to information so that all donors can make informed decisions. As Social Impact Studies are conducted they are published in the Dexterity Research section of this website. Published reports are the property of Dexterity Consulting.
