Organisations, at all levels, want to better understand, manage and be responsive to the social impact they make.
Our Organisational Membership offers support to navigate the dynamic social value landscape, thinking strategically about the social value practice for the organisation and embedding a company-wide approach and culture, amongst many other benefits.
Organisations benefit from all the Individual benefits as well as a suite of additional benefits.

Partner Membership
Social Value Partners are organisations who have made strides in social value, either core to its mission or through their business activities and accounting. They are organisations ready to collaborate with us, to share skills and assets to lead the movement forward. We might, for example, co-design training, deliver workshops, host events together, campaign for progress, and work towards our vision; a world where every organisation makes more decisions that are informed by their social impacts.
A Social Value Partner Membership is defined by the work we do together and prices are determined as per Organisational Membership, or based on the nature of the collaboration. If you are interested in joining as a Social Value Partner Member and helping us achieve our mission to change the way the world accounts for value contact us.

Membership FAQs
Click on one of the three tiers above for details of pricing.
If you are, or aspire to be, a social value professional purchasing membership for yourself (or small business), independent of the needs of your employer, then Individual Membership is ideal for you.
If you are leading or working on the social value measurement, management and reporting of social value for a whole Organisation, or department within in an organisation, then we recommend the Organisational Membership.
For Local authorities, we price up by population served, for example, town council working with a population under 300,000 would sit as a Medium Organisation, and a City Council or Combined Authority working with populations over 1Million, would be a Very Large Organisation (see tiers by selecting Organisational Membership above).
For other public sector organisations, we have a list where we have mapped different types of organisations to our existing price tiers and where needed can work out price on a case-by-case basis.
