With the pandemic threatening our most vulnerable populations, our team is working around the clock to develop innovative solutions. We are proud to empower organizations — and the general public — with our expertise in data science, policy innovation, impact investing, and strategic storytelling.

We’ve identified three essential themes as we move forward:  

  • Impact investors cannot waver from their mission during this crisis. Rather than retreat, now is the time to catalyze social change. (Please use this link to complete a brief survey on how Covid-19 has affected your impact investing strategy. We appreciate your participation).

  • Data is more important than ever in understanding the social impact of both the pandemic and its economic fallout. 

  • We remain optimistic about the commitment of individuals and organizations across sectors in finding creative solutions for equitable social impact.

We explore these themes and more in the blog posts below:

 while Keeping Your Distance

Navigating business as usual physical separation is challenging. Between staying sane, caring for kids, worrying about at-risk family members, and keeping up with workloads, it’s easy to wonder when it will all end. The Sorenson Impact Center mission creates a workplace culture that consists of collaborative individuals dedicated to making the world a better place. Though the transition to working from home is taking some adjustment, others continue to lose jobs on a daily basis. It’s the social problems that brought us all together, and in light of the compounding long-lasting effects of the pandemic, we will continue to make positive change.
