Double Bottom Line Project Report

In the past few years, as the lines between grantmaking and investing have begun to blur, the idea of measuring social return concurrent with traditional financial accounting has caught on among investors, funders and entrepreneurs. There has also been widespread movement toward more tangible accountability for the social impact created for each invested or granted dollar.

The DBL Project aims to help the field of DBL ventures better apply rigorous and useful methods to assess social outcomes and return.
