Frequently asked questions

What is SROI and why do Indian NGOs need it?

Social Return on Investment (SROI) is a framework for measuring the social, environmental, and economic value created by an NGO programme relative to resources invested. It is expressed as a ratio — for example, '₹5.20 of social value for every ₹1 invested'. CSR funders increasingly require SROI projections before approving multi-year projects, and FCRA-funded international projects often need it for donor reporting.

How does the FieldNotes SROI Calculator work?

Enter your project inputs (budget, staff time, resources), outputs, and outcomes. FieldNotes guides you through stakeholder identification, outcome mapping, financial proxy selection, and dead-weight/attribution/drop-off adjustments. The calculator generates a SROI ratio with sensitivity analysis and a printable funder-ready report.

Are the financial proxies used in the calculator verified?

Yes. FieldNotes uses established financial proxies from peer-reviewed and government sources — NREGS daily wage rates, NSSO household income data, DALY-based health outcome values, and standard education outcome proxies. No AI-generated proxy values. Sources are cited in the output report.

Is the SROI calculator free?

The SROI Calculator is included in FieldNotes' M&E Hub and available on all paid plans. Start with a free 30-day trial at fieldnotesin.app — no credit card required.
