Measuring Social Enterprise Impacts and Benefits:Emerging Approaches and IssuesKarim Harji
Presentation at the CASC/ANSER conference, Ottawa, May 27, 2009
For many social enterprises, the important issues of accountability and performance often get funneled into a discussion around metrics and measurement. Yet the measurement of the “blended value” (financial, social and environmental) that is created by social enterprise is a relatively under-developed facet of the social finance marketspace. This session will present emerging approaches and methods to assess, manage and communicate the complexity of social and financial value creation. Drawing on Canadian and international examples, the potential contributions of these approaches to the broader debate around social impact measurement will also be examined.
Measuring the Blended Value of Corporate Social Responsibility and Social Ent...Karim Harji
Presentation to the Canadian Evaluation Society Annual Conference, Ottawa, June 2, 2009
Innovative evaluation methods and tools are emerging in the fields of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and social enterprise. The focus of these innovations is the measurement of the “blended value” (financial, social and environmental) that is created by CSR and social enterprise, which is of interest to social investors, “philanthrocapitalists” and governments.
This panel will summarize findings-in-process from ongoing applications in these spheres in Ontario, Ghana and other developing-world settings. There are advantages and challenges in applying “blended value” approaches that the presenters will examine. The panelists will also discuss the implications of these findings for the theory and practice of evaluation.
On 4th December 2015 the Big Lottery Fund and CBO evaluation team ran a peer learning event for people developing SIBs related to employment, housing and crime. These slides are from the afternoon workshop on working with investors.

Editor's Notes
Of course, every donor has different interests and goals [Tell another story that illustrates different donor needs]With a community foundation all that variety can fit comfortably under one roof. That’s one of the things that makes us a bit different.You can use the community foundation to support the arts, or health, or education, or sport, or almost any cause that interests you. You can have an impact with your donation today, and you can plan for it to last into the future as well.Since we began in 19xx, more than xx residents have established funds with our community foundation.
So you can see how we take donors dreams and try to connect them with community needs.Did you know that community foundations are one of the largest supporters of charities across Canada? Together the country’s 175+ community foundations contributed $149 million to local charities last year.It’s our job to support the organizations that make this community tick. Organizations like X, Y and Z. And we support the widest possible range of organizations -- not just one sector or one population or one interest. So if the community has recreational needs or environmental concerns or youth unemployment issues we can be – and are - there to helpWe focus on the entire community. We see the community as a whole and we support it as a whole.
Our third role in the community is all about the big picture Because as we are working with, and providing grants to, a wide array of local charities, we learn a lot about our community -- about its needs, its strengths, its opportunities, its organizations and leaders.Because we deal with so many grassroots organizations, so many committed volunteers and community leaders in every field, we have a unique opportunity to get a bird’s eye view of the community. We see the connections, the similarities and the opportunities: Here in [community] for example, we work with community partners to xxxxxxxxxxxxx [your examples like Vital Signs, promote poverty reduction, plan for green growth etc.]
Fast forward to today and the passion for community that William and Alice shared is still alive and well and thriving in communities all across Canada – including ours.They both wanted to build something permanent for their communities – something that would last. And other communities saw the wisdom in this and followed their example.Today there are more than 175 community foundations all across Canada including your neighbours in Guelph/Wellington, Grey/Bruce, So our community foundations have more than 90 years of experience behind us and a national network that connects us coast to coast with other communities.It’s also worth mentioning that 90 years later William Alloway’s gift is still supporting community organizations in Winnipeg and Alice’s is still supporting charities in VancouverThat’s because they both created endowed funds where the principle grows over time, and the interest is used for granting every year.Their gifts will support the causes they cared about – forever.
