What Would It Cost

To Lose You?

Funders

Want Proof

Our work shows the cost of a funder’s support versus the community’s cost if your organization was not around to do the work.

We calculate taxpayer savings, avoided public costs, and local economic contribution to create a case that compels funders to invest in your organization.

Client outcomes modeled and analyzed

Every nonprofit creates economic value. Almost none can prove it. We do it for you.

The result is an Economic Case for Support that resonates with donors, boards, and legislators.

Phase One: Research & Evidence

We identify every community cost your organization prevents and build the foundation for proving it. This means a comprehensive review of the peer-reviewed literature, government data, and state and local sources.

The phase concludes with an Evidence Brief that details the results of the analysis, documents every source the model will draw on, and confirms that the engagement is feasible and ready to proceed.

Phase Two: Economic Modeling

Each program is modeled separately, with its own inputs, assumptions, and sourced ranges. We produce a conservative estimate and a defensible high, with every figure traceable to a named source.

The result is the total measurable economic value your organization produces, with each program represented individually and everything combined into a single aggregate number.

Phase Three: Activation

Each program receives its own visual representation of economic impact. The full analysis is assembled as a multi-page document suitable for publication, donor meetings, foundation proposals, board presentations, and legislative briefings.

The findings are presented to your board and advancement staff who are trained to speak to the numbers with confidence.

By the end of the engagement, your organization can prove its value to any funder, in any room, at any time.
