The pattern for public services, and national governments:
replication is not always best served by organisational
growth
FUTURE VALUE
From ‘we need more money’ to ‘how do we create
future value and turn it into present money’. This
is where social finance overlaps with public funding
and pressures.
A long history of tools ....
• Commissioning for outcomes
• Payment by results
• PPPs
• Shared savings models
• Publicly created markets (carbon, housing)

FINANCING SOCIAL INNOVATION – two examples
1. Social Impact Bonds
• Finance from Foundations, or Commercial investors
Raising a sum for investment
• Implemented by a range of providers, coordinated by a lead organisation, intermediary or an SPV
A programme of actions
• Commitment to pay on achieving outcomes
• Benchmarked against control group, and separated from "environmental" risk factors
A commitment to repay
Social Impact Bonds
Peterborough SIB •First SIB contract signed with the Ministry of Justice in
March 2010. Social Finance raised £5m to fund work with
3,000 male, short-sentence prisoners.
• Nationally, 60% of such prisoners re-offend within 1
year.
• Social sector organisations provide intensive support to
prisoners and their families.
•Investors will receive a return if re-offending among the
prison leavers falls by 7.5% or more
• If there is a drop in re-offending beyond 7.5%,
maximum is capped at 13% over eight years.

2. Preventive investment at the level of a city: Greater
Manchester
Elements • collaboration of municipalities and national
government combining:

mainly on prisons and courts)
• a Financial Incentive for reductions in prison
numbers

Intensive Alternative to Custody
Grounded in analysis of where crime could be
de-escalated with savings
Combined with options for greater integration
1. A single assessment process
2. A single plan for offenders
3. A single leader of each plan
4. Shared outcomes
5. Shape the pattern of resource allocation
6. Shared savings
Questions
• how to align interests of payers, funders,
delivery agencies, beneficiaries?
• will this spur or hinder innovation?
• is it worth the transaction costs?
• what are the political risks?
