Working together for greater equality of opportunity and education

Are equal opportunities and educational equality important to you? Then discover the many ways your company can engage with purpose.

Your support promotes social participation and personal development for children and teenagers from socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds, enables them to acquire important future and leadership skills, and creates pathways from school to work.

Whether fundraising campaigns, product partnerships, or expertise workshops — together we will design the right engagement format for your company. With measurable impact: every euro invested in Hobby Lobby generates €21.27 in social benefits.

Let's shape the future together: meaningful, sustainable, effective.

Social return on investment study

What impact does one euro invested in Hobby Lobby have? This question was examined by the Center for Nonprofit Organizations and Social Entrepreneurship at the Vienna University of Economics and Business as part of a Social Return on Investment (SROI) study. The study analyses, quantifies, and monetises the social and financial effects of Hobby Lobby.

The results are impressive: every euro invested generates a social added value of €21.27. This means that the investments pay off more than 21 times in terms of positive societal effects. According to the study, a key factor behind this high level of impact is the preventive nature of Hobby Lobby’s programmes. By supporting children and teenagers early on, long-term effects are created in the areas of education, personal development, health and social inclusion.

When young people pursue what brings them joy and spend time with people who matter to them, they gain valuable learning experiences and acquire key competences informally and in non-formal settings — skills they can use in other areas and later in life.
