New insights on social enterprise impact costs and for the first time what that impact costs to deliver.
Find out in the 2026 Report on Identified Social Enterprises
Exclusive event
Australia’s social enterprise sector is bigger than we thought and there's new insights on the impact costs of social enterprise.
This year's report includes analysis of the 7,003 identified social enterprises (23% more than 2024), and we deep dive into:
- What impact does social enterprise deliver?
- What does that impact cost?
- Why does the cost vary and what does it buy?
New impact cost dashboard and benchmarking tools, an Australian first.
We'll also showcase the impact cost dashboard and benchmarking tools for every social enterprise to use. These free tools will help social enterprises:
- view your impact metrics, revenue and impact cost data on one page; and
- benchmark your impact against other social enterprises with similar characteristics.
This event will take place on World Social Enterprise Day, 19 November and celebrates the remarkable businesses putting purpose at the heart of what they do.
