Social Finance.
Social First.
Terrapin helps social purpose organizations make and measure impact.
Terrapin Social Finance was founded in 2014 to help organizations understand, evaluate and report [adjective] outcomes so they can make better program decisions and be more successful in attracting grants, major gifts and impact investment.
The way we finance social impact is changing. Many non profits and charities are making a shift from pure grant and donation funding to include social enterprise revenue and social impact investment. This means the list of stakeholders is growing along with demand for good evaluation and reporting.
