Отрывок из книги

This fall issue of the Positive Changes Journal is dedicated to those who cannot give up even in the hardest of times, because lives of many vulnerable people depend on their work. Until recently, social entrepreneurs were not recognized by the Russian legislation at all. Today, the term applies only to small and medium-sized businesses and specifically excludes non-profit organizations. On the other hand, impact investors pay little attention to the organization’s legal form, focusing instead on the social impact capacity of a social entrepreneurship project. Who supports social entrepreneurship in Russia and worldwide, what tools they use and how, what methods can be used to assess social and entrepreneurial projects, what strategies are used by such projects in a challenging time of change – this is the central topic of this issue of our Journal. After all, the Confucius saying continues as follows: “But if you happen to live in a time of change, God grant you the benefit of new limitless opportunities.”

In one of your interviews, you said that when providing financial support to social entrepreneurs, the Foundation pays special attention to such an indicator as the degree of social impact. How do you measure it?

Here I would like to mention that the Foundation has many different programs of financial support, and each program includes an individual approach to developing the criteria for evaluating projects. But, of course, social impact is always at the top of the list. If we talk about return on investment in existing projects, we need the evidence base of the declared social effects of the project, for example, laboratory-confirmed environmental friendliness of the products, scientific evidence of the usefulness of the applied methods of preschool development, the presence of reliable positive feedback on the work of the project, etc. We further analyze a number of the largest projects using the SROI (Social Return on Investment) methodology. If we talk about supporting projects at the startup stage, we rely on the predicted values of the effects, comparing them with the available results base from other projects in the same field.
