SROI: Social Return on Investment

SROI is an approach to understanding and managing the impacts of a project, an organization or a policy. It is based on stakeholders and puts financial values on the important impacts identified by stakeholders which do not have market values. The aim is to include the values of people that are often excluded from markets in the same terms as used in markets, that is money, in order to give people a voice in resource allocation decisions.

"The Gavalas-Kolanko Foundation is both unique and special in that it focuses its attention on helping those who may be handicapped physically, but won't be denied mentally."
- Martin Grant, Jr., 2000 GKF Scholarship Winner

The Gavalas-Kolanko Foundation (GKF) is a 509 (a)(2) public charity established to help students with disabilities reach their secondary educational goals. The Foundation was established by Nicholas B. Gavalas and Dr. Ronald Kolanko. Mr. Gavalas and Dr. Kolanko came together to form the GKF in 1999 after becoming aware of the costly requirements for students with disabilities wishing to attend college. As influential members of the Charleston community, they assembled a dynamic board, supportive staff, and a strategic plan for success. Gavalas-Kolanko Foundation members strive to assist students with their secondary educational costs, and increase support and awareness of their needs.
