Spring Impact was founded out of frustration. Frustration that some of the best, world changing social innovations that should scale up don’t.
We are a team of London and San Francisco-based passionate professionals striving to help mission-driven organisations, funders, and individuals create, scale and sustain the maximum social impact. We have the honour of working with extraordinary partners across the globe with a vision of addressing the size of social problems at scale.
Spring Impact was established in 2011 by Dan Berelowitz, a Young Global Leader at the World Economic Forum and a Clore Social Leadership Fellow. Dan identified a need for organisations with proven community-transforming projects to be better equipped to scale.
Spring Impact began working with Oxfam and Big Society Capital to investigate the potential of investment into social franchising and wrote this report. Working with partners it became clear that while social franchising had the most exciting potential as a route to scale for many, it was one strategy on a spectrum of replication. To properly address each Spring Impact partner on their own terms, Spring Impact’s specialism broadened to encompass all forms of replication.
Today Spring Impact is a global leader in social replication with a team of over 20 passionate professionals. Spring Impact has offices in London and San Francisco and has the honour of working with extraordinary partners to make a real and lasting difference in a range of countries including US, UK, Australia, Zambia, Tanzania, South Africa, Malawi, Kenya, Senegal, Mauritius, India, Pakistan, Jordan, Myanmar, Mexico, Colombia, Nicaragua, El Salvador, and Nicaragua.
