Economic Impact and Social Return on Investment Analysis Services


Founded in 2007, Community Services Analysis LLC (CSACO) is a leading provider of Social Value Return on Investment analysis and reporting for nonprofit entities and tax-funded organizations in the United States.We have completed over 250 Economic Impact and Social Return on Investment analysis projects for individual organizations, association groups, and state governments nationwide.

Social Return on Investment (SROI) is an approach to measuring and understanding both the current and future financial impact of an organization. While SROI is built on the logic of cost/benefit analysis, it is different in that it is designed to measure the comparable accountability and value of organizations whose results cannot always be easily measured in money.

Social Return on Investment analysis is a more comprehensive measurement of fiscal impacts than standard Economic Impact reports as the SROI process measures both the direct financial values of the projected consequences of direct changes and the longer term consequential social impacts resulting from these projected actions.

SROI provides information about the financial impacts of actual operations and planned changes, and the qualitative, quantitative, and financial information on which to base funding decisions about social service organizations.

Community Services Analysis LLC is a member of Social Value International, a founding member of Social Value - United States, and a member of the American Evaluation Association.
