Economic Impact Studies for Nonprofits

Nonprofit organizations are essential pillars of our communities, driving positive change and fostering growth in all sectors of the economy. Showcasing your nonprofit’s economic impact can enhance your organization’s credibility, attract funding, and motivate community support.  

Our comprehensive economic and fiscal impact studies are designed to help you tell the compelling story of how your organization benefits your community. 

What Types of Nonprofits Can Benefit from Economic Impact Analysis? 

Our economic impact services are tailored to meet the unique needs of various types of nonprofits, including: 

  • Entrepreneurial Support Organizations (e.g., incubators, accelerators, catalysts, etc.): Demonstrate how your programs foster innovation, support startups, and contribute to local economic growth.  
  • Community Revitalization Organizations: Highlight the transformative impact of your initiatives on neighborhood development, property values, and community well-being. 
  • Industry Advocacy Groups: Showcase your role in attracting and supporting businesses, encouraging innovation, and driving growth in targeted sectors. 
  • Arts and Culture Nonprofits: Illustrate the cultural enrichment, tourism, and economic benefits your events and programs bring to the community.

The Results You Can Expect 

Our economic and fiscal impact analyses provide a detailed and organized report of your organization’s contributions to the community. We examine various quantitative and qualitative aspects, including: 

  • Job Creation: How many jobs your nonprofit supports, both directly and indirectly.  
  • Earnings: The increase in income for individuals and households resulting from your organization’s activities. 
  • Sales: The boost in local business revenues attributed to your programs and initiatives. 
  • Public Funding Leverage: For every dollar spent by taxpayers, your nonprofit has leveraged additional money through grants and private funders.  
  • Return on Investment: For every dollar spent on programming, your nonprofit has generated additional economic activity in jobs, earnings, and sales in your community’s economy. 
  • Tax Revenue: The additional tax revenue generated for local, state, and federal governments. 

Beyond these quantitative measures, we also highlight the qualitative impacts, offering insights into how your organization enhances quality of life in your community.

Developing Holistic Case Studies Through Community Engagement 

To provide a more comprehensive understanding of your nonprofit’s impact, our team develops holistic case studies using interviews with the people and businesses that have benefited from your work.  

These case studies offer personal stories and testimonials that paint a vivid picture of your organization’s importance to the community. By capturing these narratives, we help you build a more holistic and persuasive case for your nonprofit’s value.
