Redefining ROIROI Speak

What We Do

“Your work is to discover your work and then with all your heart to give yourself to it.” – Buddha

Return On Inspiration seeks to do well by doing good.

Because good things are happening in the for-profit and nonprofit sectors, we’ve structured our business to capture all dimensions of social entrepreneurship. Our work, therefore, takes place in what some have come to call the fourth sector. This sector is comprised of organizations driven by both social purpose and financial promise. Working on fourth sector projects to maximize both their mission and revenue generating potential is what ROI Ventures does best.

ROI Ventures is a firm that manages a portfolio of projects that fall into one of the following areas:

ROI Advisory Services works on projects that have demonstrated social value, and are now seeking scale. The groups behind these projects are either looking to achieve a greater social impact or achieve financial sustainability (or both).

ROI Enterprises helps its clients create new, social-purpose products, services or organizational platforms that leverage their organization’s core assets. ROI Enterprise clients are driven by the dual passion for entrepreneurship and revenue generation, and have an early stage concept ready for development, refinement and/or implementation.

ROI Advisory Group and Enterprise Clients include foundations, entrepreneurs, institutions, non-profit organizations and social purpose businesses.

ROI Venture Investments works with entrepreneurs who have seed- and early-stage social purpose businesses to develop and launch their ventures. We provide the necessary combination of people, expertise and capital to take their vision from concept to the marketplace.
