The !deation Conference

Summary: Mission Measurement CEO Jason Saul will be speaking alongside some of the most innovative thinkers and practitioners in the field of social change at The !deation Conference in Chicago on May 7. Why does it cost us $20 to raise $100, while it costs corporations and the Obama campaign only $4? The simple answer:  We have no leverage! The only return on investment we can offer to donors is the warm glow of doing good. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Today, our social outcomes have real economic value.  If we understand our “social value proposition”, we can learn how to tap into the engine of the economy, rather than subsisting off the fumes of charity.
