In our society we guard against all sorts of risks—car accidents,
illness, floods, job loss—so why not guard against the misuse of our charitable donaGons?
By offering Impact Insurance, we acknowledge the reality that giving money away is risky, just as it's risky to invest in the stock market.
Stock market investors demand a return on their investment. However, many
charitable donors do not. Guaranteed Impact would change that mindset.
• Decision: Jesse wants to donate $10,000 to fight poverty. He is choosing between “Tried & True OrganizaGon” and “Game Changer New OrganizaGon.”
• Dilemma: Jesse is excited about Game Changer’s potenGal, but is afraid of wasGng money on an unproven organizaGon.
• Solu-on: Game Changer is a “Guaranteed Impact” organizaGon. Jesse is offered “Social Impact or Your Money Back.”
• Jesse pays 5% ($500) to Guaranteed Impact. (The percentage is based on the charity’s expected impact. Higher premiums will be paid for unproven organizaGons.)
• A^er 1 year, Guaranteed Impact (or a respected 3rd party) will determine whether Jesse’s money has been spent wisely.
– If Jesse’s money IS spent wisely: Guaranteed Impact will donate half of Jesse’s $500 to Game Changer and keep the remaining half to cover administraGve costs, payouts on other policies, and to make a small profit.
– If Jesse’s money is NOT spent wisely: Jesse gets his $10,000 back, courtesy of Guaranteed Impact.
• Enables more risk-‐taking: Guaranteed Impact encourages donors to give to innovaGve, but less well known, organizaGons.
• Carrot & S-ck: (Carrot) If an organizaGon performs well, it receives half of the insurance premium paid by the donor. (SGck) If an organizaGon does not perform well, its insurance premium will increase or the organizaGon could be removed from the Guaranteed Impact program.
• Guarantees are impressive: The markeGng value of a guarantee is very strong. Even people who do not elect to pay for impact insurance will be impressed by the “Social Impact or Your Money Back” guarantee.
• Raise awareness of impact metrics: Guaranteed Impact will use the latest social impact evaluaGon metrics. We are guaranteeing social impact. We are not necessarily promising low overhead.
1.) Partner with a major insurance company to acquire appraisal & actuarial experGse needed to run Guaranteed Impact.
Benefits for the insurance company: • Corporate Social Responsibility – Guaranteed Impact will enhance the
insurer’s image • PotenGal profits – Guaranteed Impact is designed to be economically
viable • New customers – Customers who purchase “Impact Insurance” will be
more likely to purchase auto or home insurance from the same company
2.) Pilot the program by inviGng 50 innovaGve social organizaGons (in need of fundraising help) to be a part of Guaranteed Impact’s test phase.
3.) Launch MarkeGng Campaign • The campaign will encourage more risk-‐taking in giving, feature some of the innovaGve organizaGons, and promise “Social Impact or Your Money Back”
• Guaranteed Impact Seal. The organizaGons will display the “Social Impact or Your Money Back” pledge on their websites.
4.) Evaluate and Expand. Once Guaranteed Impact is shown to be viable, double the number of organizaGons. Then double it again…
• Student-‐organized effort will encourage universiGes to place at least 2 % of their endowments into Social Investments
• Dual goals of educaGng future leaders (the students) as well as shi^ing dollars from passive to acGve
• UniversiGes are implicit donors by accepGng lower returns for socially-‐screened pornolios
• The "screening" tool is archaic, ineffecGve and fiscally irresponsible.
• > $400 Billion in University endowments in 2008
