Maximizing Social Impact, Public Benefit Corporation

with Tiffany Laursen, Ph.D.

Maximizing Social Impact, Public Benefit Corporation is a boutique social enterprise committed to creating impact through workshops, consulting, and research that change makers can implement.

You want to create change.

  • Maybe you're thinking about starting a nonprofit or social enterprise but are struggling with where to start building and launching your idea.

  • Are you preparing a grant to expand a current program, but need to track your current social outcomes?

  • Perhaps you need more knowledge, tools, or support to be confident that your impact reporting is accurate and relevant.

  • Maybe you are interested in a particular research question related to your nonprofit or social enterprise and would like to get a scientific answer.

For the social sector, tracking impact is key to:

  • obtaining partners and funding,

  • understanding the difference you are making,

  • meeting legal requirements.

However, leaders - especially those with operations less than 5 years - often find that launching and tracking their impact is harder, and more convoluted than anticipated. They are often in need of assistance to develop a clear path to impact - including how to get their initial ideas off the ground.

If you relate to these challenges and need guidance:

I work with leaders of early stage social enterprises, nonprofits, and businesses implementing Environmental, Social, and Governance models (ESG). These leaders are social innovators: they are passionate change makers working to create change for a specific group of people - and they deserve all the support they can get in the most critical beginning phases!

I work to be a resource through workshops, 1:1 consulting, researching social innovation, and connecting leaders to community resources to help them grow. Together, we build, launch, and monitor their models (in whole or in part) to increase their social impact using insights from their pilots and prior research.

I can help!

  • “I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude and admiration for Tiffany, who has been one of the best instructors I've encountered. Her concise communication, deep knowledge, and readiness to address questions or provide learning recommendations have been invaluable. Tiffany's feedback on projects was insightful and tailored, ensuring I not only understood the processes but also grasped the "why" behind them. Her dedication to student success is clear in the time she takes to ensure comprehension and, in her ability, to translate complex, innovative concepts into approachable learning experiences. Tiffany is exceptionally organized, has engaging activities, and has unmatched expertise in such a cutting-edge subject area. Typically, I shy away from offering abundant praise, as I dislike "brown-nosing" professors. But Tiffany's outstanding teaching and support have entirely defied that inclination. I simply cannot overstate how much I have learned, nor how much her guidance has helped me navigate both the material and its connection to my real-world. What sets Tiffany apart is how she values students as learners and individuals with unique lives and experiences. Her respect for our identities and circumstances has had a lasting impact on me. She has earned my respect in ways very few people have, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have taken her class.”
