Many of these studies have been supported by our Track & Field dynamic reporting tool.

SROI and ROI
We have helped clients determine the impact of their programs through Return on Investment (ROI) and Social Return on Investment (SROI) analyses. ROI examines the financial costs and benefits of a program, while SROI identifies the broader social or environmental values derived from a program or service. SROI allows program recipients to define the value they derive from the services provided, adding a client perspective to program impact.
