While running a nonprofit that supported projects in India and Ghana, Spring Impact’s founder, Dan Berelowitz, noticed that the very similar projects he was supporting were all making the same operational mistakes – limiting their impact.

He became frustrated that they were using precious capacity and resources that should be changing lives to instead reinvent the wheel.

And so in 2011, the International Center for Social Franchising (ICFS) was born, and later became Spring Impact – a nonprofit set up to help mission-driven organisations learn from, and replicate, what works.

While we started with a single focus on social franchising, and later on replication, we’ve now grown to provide support on all forms of scaling – from building a movement to open sourcing. We’ve also expanded our work to include:

•  An Academy aimed at demystifying scale and making it affordable and accessible to all
• Integrated Lean Impact principles across all of our work, to help our partners test plans in the real-world and move confidently into action. 
• Collaborating with funders and key players to transform the impact ecosystem so that it works in favour of scale.
