Stakeholder
Outputs
Select key beneficiaries - those are the stakeholders who benefit most
directly, and indirectly, from your work.
Track the tangible numbers associated with your activity.
Name the specific changes that will result from your work (from the
perspectives of various stakeholders).
Select indicators that measure the outcomes you seek. The indicators
Indicators
need to be expressed in take the form of dollars.
Select proxies if you cannot find data that directly corresponds with the
Proxies
indicators.
Data Sources Go to the Social Enterprise Fund website for indicator and proxy data
Assess your impact by calculating the deadweight (what would have
happened if you hadn't intervened) attribution (how many others
Impact
contributed to the outcome) and displacement (if relevant)
Quantify your Inputs, Outputs, and Outcomes
Data
Collection
Add up all the inputs. Add up all the benefits. Subtract the deadweight,
attribution and displacement. Calculate the SROI. Conduct a sensitivity

analysis. Calculate the pay-back period. Project the value into the future
Outcomes
If you are starting an employment program with troubled youth.
Your stakeholders are youth, funders, and the Solicitor General.
This could include number of people trained through the program;
Outputs
the number of jobs created, etc.
You may increase income, improve self esteem, reduce reliance

on public benefits and reduce EYOC time/recidivism.
You could compare monthly income before and after program

participation, changes in welfare payments, days spent in EYOC.
You may wish to find a proxy to stand in for increased self-esteem

such increase in volunteer hours.

If 25% of all young offenders gain steady employment without your
program, you have 25% deadweight. If you collaborated with 1

other agency, you could attribute 30% of the success to them.

Be clear on the chain of events ala WBF:
 Preparation for the GED exam led to
 Graduation from the Training Program led to
 Employment


Counting all the links in the chain
artificially inflates the value
Only count the last link – the end
and not the means


The impact may last longer than the initial
period of investment.
Longer term impacts can be measured (if
indicators are tracked over time) or
estimated.
Where outcomes last for more than the
period over which the investment or
expenditure relates, the financial proxy for
the value of those outcomes needs to be
discounted.
Discounting relates to financial
values. (Drop off relates to
duration of benefits).

Would you prefer to receive $1,000
today or in five years? Why?

What is the future value of money?
According to the Treasury Board, $1,000 is
worth $837 in 5 yrs time.
$1,000 loses value at 3.5% per year

Check different assumptions and their impact:
• deadweight, attribution and drop-off
• financial proxies
• quantity of the outcome
• value of non-financial inputs
Having completed the impact map, you are
ready to start inputting your information
into the Social Evaluator.
Other than what’s in the impact map, What
else do you think should be in a report?
SROI aims to create accountability to
stakeholders. As such it is important that the
results are communicated to stakeholders in a
meaningful way.
Your final report should comprise much more
than the social returns calculated. It should tell
the story of change and explain the decisions you
made in the course of your analysis.
When telling our story we need to include
qualitative information to bring the data alive

Demonstration of how I had to tweak the
SROI example (done in excel) to fit the Social
Evaluator model
The SROI Network is developing an
assurance scheme that will include:
• Accreditation of practitioners
• Assurance of SROI analyses
• Verification
• Assurance
• Audit
To have a report assured by the SROI
network practitioners must:
• Become a member of the network
• Pay approximately $500 for the peer
review (this cost will be covered for
SROI’s produced through this
training IF they are submitted by
December 15th.)

Gather the data required to complete filling

Add in all the qualitative elements needed for
a complete SROI
Complete your SROI analysis
Present your draft SROI report to
stakeholders for feedback

Consider applying for membership in SROI

Your application included a commitment
checklist with an agreement to complete an
SROI report – still an expectation
All participants are expected to attend and
present their findings
Assistance with report research and inputting
into the Evaluator available until Dec. 10th
Members of the SROI Network will attend as
part of a mutual learning exchange
The presentations will run from 9 – 12 (a
presenter’s schedule will be emailed)
The location will be the United Way
 Presentation will not exceed 10 minutes; 8 minutes
summarizing your SROI analysis; 2 minutes sharing
your insights into SROI (as it relates to your project)
 We will leave 5 minutes for Q & A
 Power point projector available – please email
presentations to Anna so that they can be loaded
BEFORE the event
 Up to you to make hand outs for audience members
(no more than 35)
 Results will not be published on the Social Enterprise
Fund website
