SUMMARY:Series Event 1: Harnessing Data to Demonstrate the Social Return on Investment
DESCRIPTION:– ABOUT THE SERIES –\nMeasuring What Matters: Quantifying Social Return on Investment\nCWMA in partnership with MNP and Grey Sky Tech have created valuable workshops to empower you to use your data for quantifying Social Return on Investment and understand the impact and value of your work. While each session works well as a standalone experience\, they have been designed to complement one another for maximum learning benefit. Learn how to use your data to understand and give quantitative value to your work. \nEvent 1: Harnessing Data to Demonstrate the Return on Investment | JUNE 5 | Virtual | 1:00 – 2:30 PM\nEvent 2: Data Collection Processes & Practical Tools | AUGUST 5 | Virtual | 1:00 – 2:30 PM\nEvent 3: Driving Business Value with Microsoft 365 Copilot for Non-Profits + AI Open Learning | OCTOBER 8 | In Person \n\n– EVENT DETAILS –\nHarnessing Data to Demonstrate the Social Return on Investment | June 5\, 2025 | 1:00-2:30 PM \nSocial Return on Investment (SROI) focuses on identifying and measuring the social\, environmental\, and economic outcomes of a project or activity.  It aims to quantify the societal benefits\, such as improvements in well-being\, environmental protection\, or reduced inequality\, by assigning a monetary value to them. \nThe purpose of this (1.5-hour) intro session is to engage non-profits\, and organizations that embrace social return on investment\, in learning and discussion about reporting on the value being realized – be it social\, economic\, and environmental – in ways that are understood by those who could make investments in your organizations. \nSROI analysis allows social service organizations\, and those who fund them\, to legitimize their actions by assigning a monetary value to their contribution\, thus allowing them to “speak the language of the traditional business community”. \nHaving a method to express the value of your work in a concise and standardized way come with many benefits. \n\n– COST –\n$15 CWMA Members | $20 Non-Members \n+GST.  This event is partially-subsidized. CWMA’s operations are supported wholly by events like these\, dedicated patronage from sponsors\, and our membership. We are grateful for your attendance.

This collective sharing will give organizations new insights to help guide or refine their tracking methods and spark innovative ideas for future data collection.\n2:154 PM – Active Share: Participants will be encouraged to share their “future tracking possibilities\,” which will be your commitment to action.\n2:28 PM – Final thoughts and farewell \n\n– VIRTUAL NOTES –\nCWMA uses the Zoom Platform for events.
