We determine social value by considering

1. Impact and outcomes that you can measure AND
2. How relevant people consider the non-profit work to be

With these two critical pieces of information, socialmarkets determines the social return on your investment (SROI) in any given project, allowing you to 'donate' (we like to say 'invest') more wisely in the social causes that are important to you.

Everyone benefits:

Organizations that produce real results, in areas that the public thinks are important, will enjoy a high ranking in our system and a raised profile in the social marketplace – attracting more attention and support.

Donors will have more confidence that their donation dollars are producing good social returns. They’ll also be able to influence the current social and political agenda by weighing in on which causes they think deserve the most attention.
