Nonprofit organizations generate meaningful change in the lives of individuals and communities every day: they foster social inclusion, strengthen networks of solidarity, promote participation, and contribute to collective well-being. But how can these results be effectively understood and communicated?

The event offers an opportunity to reflect on social impact assessment, a topic that is becoming increasingly relevant for associations, social cooperatives, foundations, and Third Sector organizations. Measuring impact does not simply mean reporting on activities carried out, but also gaining a better understanding of the changes generated, identifying which strategies work, and improving the effectiveness of organizational actions.

During the meeting, an app for assessing social impact will be presented. In particular, the discussion will focus on Social Return on Investment (SROI), which helps estimate the social value created by investments; Social Network Analysis (SNA), which provides insights into the role of relationships and collaborations; and indicators related to the quality of the working environment and the well-being of people involved in organizations.
