The Canadian Community Economic Development Network Ontario conference featured a presentation on Social Return on Investment (SRoI) from SiMPACT Strategy Group, a Calgary-baed company that has worked with the City of Calgary and as well as a number of non-profits. The purpose of SRoI is to provide a framework for understanding the econmic impact of policies and programs with a social benefit. They have kindly provided a copy of the presentation which can be viewed here.
