Merging finance and social impact to make a better world
Bottom Line is a college access and success program proven to help low-income, first-generation students not just enroll in college—but graduate. Backed by a rigorous, multi-site randomized controlled trial (RCT), Bottom Line delivers a measurable lift in bachelor’s degree attainment at a cost that’s highly efficient by education ROI standards.
Corporate art programs are evolving far beyond office aesthetics — they are emerging as powerful tools for corporate social responsibility (CSR) and employee engagement. As highlighted in Buildings’ preview of the 2025 BOMA Conference, companies are increasingly using curated art partnerships, such as with organizations like ArtLifting, to deliver meaningful social value by empowering artists facing homelessness and disabilities.
Tackling homelessness requires more than temporary shelter—it demands a dual focus on housing and opportunity. The Jericho Project’s model proves that a modest investment can yield a powerful financial and social return. A 250% annual ROI, combined with profound human impact, makes this strategy one of the most effective tools we have in ending chronic homelessness.
