SOCIAL RETURN

There are two types of Social Return on Investment: Return Received by those who participate in the Enterprises, and Return Produced, meaning the value of the products and services produced by each Enterprise if purchased in the regular marketplace, relative to the investment made in each Enterprise.

Individual Youth Enterprises will submit a Business Plan for funding. The Business Plan will show the costs for each Enterprise, and the value produced if sold in the regular market for each Enterprise, and the return received by the participants in each Enterprise. Each Enterprise will designate what success means to them, just as you do in your business.

The Return Produced:
For every dollar invested, these Enterprises are producing products and services that are have actual value in the private market, and thus have a much higher financial return. The Return Produced includes items such as:

Hours of tutoring (at $40 an hour which is market rate for private tutoring firms)
CD’s sold
Hours of production time in a studio (market valued at $200 per hour)
Tickets sold to shows
Hours of training
Salaries earned
…and much more.

The Return Received by the Peers:
For every dollar invested, Paid peers and those served are gaining valuable skills, knowledge, and assets that will enable them to be successful. These follow the general categories in the chart below.

The charts demonstrate how we will report the Social Return on Investment.

Chart 1 shows the Return Produced: the market value of the products and services produced by the
Enterprises if they were purchased in the regular marketplace relative to the investment from the Fund. In the example below, you can see that for an investment of $500,000, the social return produced is over 1.4 million.

Chart 2 and 3: The charts below show the number of paid peers, and peers served, that gain specific benefits, such as increased attendance, increased skills, financial literacy, and more. In this chart, there are 1,000 paid peers, serving 6,000 other young people. The paid peers obtain specific benefits and then they can impart other benefits to even more young people.
