Overview

Mission

Promoting the efficiency and effectiveness of non-profit organizations, and the effective use of charitable resources through consulting, research and advocacy.

What it reported doing in 2024

Spring impact delivers professional consultative services that help our clients achieve their social mission. Using an approach that combines lean innovation and social replication methods, spring impact helps non-profit organizations and funders to accelerate the ways they achieve their impact goals. These services are delivered through collaborative partnerships that identify both the problems to be solved and efficient and effective ways to solve them at scale. Our work includes facilitated workshops, field visits to understand the needs of constituents, running a series of lean experiments in the field, systems mapping and financial model development, and development and production of tools and resources required for implementing solutions at scale. Spring impact works with funders to identify ways to shift systems and scale high impact solutions and influence the social sector to strengthen and enable more non-profit organizations to scale their impact.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 100% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
