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.
With your support, children and teenagers from socioeconomically disadvantaged families gain access to free extracurricular courses and meaningful leisure activities. In this way, you actively help to close opportunity gaps and promote educational equity
