Nonprofits are undervalued
Nonprofits are systematically undervalued because no measurement existed to capture their full economic contribution. Until now.
Funders blindly steward their funds as they guess which investments will make the biggest impact, and pass on organizations who lack the infrastructure necessary to defend their worth. The people those nonprofits serve lose as a result.



Nonprofits correct market failures
Nonprofit programs correct market failures by improving the human condition and restoring dignity. People underperform their economic potential due to illness, instability, poverty, age, and crisis.
Tepe & Sisneros considers that loss to productivity to be measurable, real, and costly to government, community, and the tax base. Nonprofits intervene before those costs materialize.
The return on that intervention is larger than the budget of the nonprofit, making nonprofits the most efficient and cost-effective way to address those problems while also serving as significant economic engines for their communities.
