Social Value Framework
We have developed a brand new tool that enables our members to comprehensively, consistently and clearly report on the values of their social impacts and outcomes. By mapping the value of community finance to all our stakeholders, we aim to build a strong compelling case for future investment and support.
The social value framework enables CDFIs to tell, evidence and report on their social value in a transparent way. It has been developed by Dr Nick Henry of Coventry University and kindly supported by the Citi Foundation, and acts as a companion to our Economic Impact Tool.
The framework enables our members to:
- Identify their stakeholder community
- Articulate the social value they create for these stakeholders
- Provide evidence to support this
- Report on their social value
