Nonprofits continue to experience challenges in a more competitive funding environment, especially as the demand for their services continues to grow. By encouraging the coordination of funds across various stakeholders (non-profit, for-profit, public), the human services sector can maximize the impact of each stakeholder’s investment and affect a measurable change in communities across the country, even in challenging economic times.

The Social Innovation Fund (SIF) brings together the federal government, private foundations and nonprofit and for-profit organizations in order to promote proven and promising practices by social services providers. SIF represents a $123 million dollar investment in the nonprofit sector, taken from both public and private sources (in a $50M/$73M split). This investment is designed to grow programs that have demonstrated effectiveness in addressing health, economic and youth needs in their communities.

Efforts to Outcomes (ETO™) software, from Social Solutions, has helped winning SIF applicants demonstrate:

• A substantial track record of successful outcomes
• The ability to perform ongoing evaluation
• Experience in selecting grantees and holding them accountable for outcomes
• A clear understanding of the population to be served
• Fiscal discipline

Social Solutions was founded in 2000 by human service professionals, and has been the leading provider of performance management software ever since.

ETO software is a prominent force in non profit software; connecting efforts to outcomes, people to social services, and service providers and communities to funders.

ETO software goes beyond case management, enabling public, private, and nonprofit organizations, such as Harlem Children’s Zone, Catholic Charities, United Way, Annie E. Casey Foundation, HUD, and cities such as Boston and Hartford to collaborate, save time, and improve quality and effectiveness.
