Does your nonprofit measure ROI?

We often hear that nonprofits should operate more like businesses — but when it comes to impact, ROI doesn't tell the full story. It’s too simple, too linear to capture the ripple effects of meaningful change. Still, measuring impact and embracing accountability remain crucial.

This week on People of Substance by LemonSkies, we dive into Return on Mission with Emily Teixeira, Executive Director at Politisit — think Politics + Babysit (no, they don’t babysit politicians). Politisit helps remove barriers to civic participation by covering childcare costs, ensuring more voices are heard where decisions are made.

Emily’s path to the nonprofit world is anything but conventional — from defense to yoga to leading a mission-driven organization. Tune in for a sharp, thoughtful conversation about what true impact really looks like.
