WHAT WE DO<\/h1><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Social Finance NL supports organizations in measuring and quantifying their impact and in establishing sustainable (public-private) partnerships<\/h2>\n<\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Would you like to give your stakeholders a clear understanding of the true value of your organisation? Or are you working at a fund or government institution and seeking a more effective way to determine, manage, and grow your impact?<\/p>\n

SFNL believes that impact and financial returns should go hand in hand. By making social value transparent and incorporating it into every business case, we transform intangible values into tangible outcomes. We then connect the right parties and implement innovative financing methods, enabling social issues to be addressed more effectively and sustainably.<\/p>\n<\/div>

At Social Finance NL, social value plays a central role in all our services and activities.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

In our advisory projects, we make social value transparent and integrate it into the business case alongside traditional financial values. We achieve this through impact analyses, developing social business cases, conducting feasibility studies, and providing insights into impact.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Additionally, we advise organisations on how to optimise their financial resources to maximise impact. For example, we guide charitable foundations and organisations in the realm of impact investing, and help align public funds more effectively with the social sector to ensure sustainable support for initiatives.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

We guide and connect governments, investors, and implementers while structuring collaborations. We achieve this through impact bonds, (outcome) funds, and impact investment projects. We speak the language of both investors and the government. We understand the challenges entrepreneurs face and ensure a constructive process to strengthen one another and create social impact.<\/p>\n

Using the performance management method, we focus on continuously improving and evaluating our client’s impact.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

To address the societal challenges of our time, systemic change is needed\u2014both in how we view our society and how we tackle social issues. The focus must shift from the costs of solutions to the net value created for people.<\/p>\n

Social Finance is committed to this goal by not only participating in projects but also inspiring the world around us to think and work differently. We undertake various activities for this purpose, including our podcast Money Matters<\/em>, the annual Impact Talk<\/em>, an annual publication of essays and analyses, and a range of custom workshops.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

An important part of our work is developing methodologies for outcomes-based finance.<\/p>\n

In outcomes-based finance, parties such as governments or philanthropists no longer pay for efforts, but for performance.<\/p>\n

The most commonly used instruments of outcomes-based finance are Social Impact Bonds<\/a> and Outcomes Funds<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The next step is to define and measure the desired impact.<\/p>\n

Once this is clear, we start developing innovative solutions.<\/p>\n

We tackle these through outcomes-oriented collaborations, continuously monitoring and evaluating progress.<\/p>\n

The knowledge we acquire is then shared within our network and ecosystem.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>
