What Matters: Investing in Results to Build Strong, Vibrant Communities

Abstract: What does it take to measure and fund positive social change? What Matters: Investing in Results to Build Strong, Vibrant Communities, published in partnership with the Nonprofit Finance Fund (NFF), is the fourth release in our What series and sets a vision for revolutionizing the way America achieves social progress: By paying for results. The book features a collection of essays by 80 authors with wide expertise on the social, cultural, and financial implications of orienting programs and funding around outcomes. Together, the authors imagine the creation of a trillion-dollar marketplace for results, where governments, social service providers, and partners better understand the full, true costs of achieving social change and where compensation is based on measurable results.
