01 NEW PROFIT ANNUAL REPORT 2012–2013

Welcome This exciting moment in New Profit’s history demands that we slightly bend the normal Annual Report rules. With New Profit in the midst of an impact evolution, this year’s report will not only look back at New Profit’s annual progress, but will also look forward towards exciting initiatives on New Profit’s horizon. We have had remarkable success in helping 44 of the most innovative social enterprises in the country, such as Teach For America, KIPP, The Mission Continues, and Year Up, increase their impact in areas that shape social mobility. And we are not stopping now. As part of a concerted effort to continue pioneering the venture philanthropy approach, we are exploring new frontiers of social innovation and systemic change.

In 2013, we set the stage for the impact evolution with some exciting progress on our core work in the investment portfolio. Highlights from 2013 include: The Pathways Fund | Our six Pathways Fund organizations reported New Profit strategic support had measurable impact on their organizational capacity in several areas, especially evaluation, growth, and leadership development.

Additionally, this strategic support has led to significant organizational learning, extending beyond the national headquarters to the program site level.

02 NEW PROFIT ANNUAL REPORT 2012-2013

WELCOME

Deloitte Collaboration | We launched a multimillion dollar collaboration with Deloitte following its acquisition of our longtime partner, Monitor Group. This has allowed us to tap the vast expertise of the company’s staff to the benefit of our portfolio organizations. Thanks to Deloitte’s extraordinary generosity, we are providing stronger support, including strategic and financial planning and evaluation, to help organizations achieve greater scale, sustainability, and impact than ever before.

Investments | We welcomed five new organizations into our portfolio: The Achievement Network, Educators 4 Excellence, Eye to Eye, FoodCorps, and New Classrooms. We also invested in Roca, Inc. through the Massachusetts Juvenile Justice Pay for Success Initiative (see below) and reinvested in New Teacher Center.

In 2014, we have continued the core work and also have made a leap towards new approaches.

Highlights from 2014 include: Investments | We are proud to have reinvested in Family Independence Initiative and Management Leadership for Tomorrow.

Domains for Aligned Impact | The success of the Pathways Fund raised a tantalizing prospect: could New Profit drive greater impact in other areas using this coordinated and collaborative approach with small groups—or “domains”—of high-performing social enterprises? The big potential opportunity led us to evolve Pathways and work with donors, organizations, and thought leaders to explore domains in other

areas, including Early Childhood Experience and Reimagine Learning (focused on learning differences and social-emotional learning areas).

Pay for Success | New Profit helped develop and fund the Massachusetts Juvenile Justice Pay for Success Initiative, a landmark effort to combat prison recidivism for at-risk young men. The “Pay for Success” model involves government incentivizing private sector investment groups to provide funding for social service programs. It is a powerful new way to direct public resources to proven, higher-impact programs. America Forward, our nonpartisan policy initiative, has been instrumental in raising awareness of its potential in Washington and beyond—including playing a major part in the Pay for Success components of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), which was signed into law this past summer.

The 10th Annual Gathering of Leaders | Our 2014 Gathering of Leaders was our most dynamic convening of social entrepreneurs to date. The discussion centered on the evolving forces and new opportunities that will shape our new bets on the future of social innovation and creating large-scale change.

You’ll read much more about these issues in the following pages, but we also hope you’ll stay connected to us through our website, blog, Facebook, Twitter, and—of course—in person!

Gratefully,

DOUG BORCHARD

Update from the Board Chair Innovation. Investment. Impact. The work we do at New Profit to fulfill our mission can be distilled down to these three words.

As Board Chair, and a long-standing member of the Board of Directors, I have had the pleasure of being a part of this innovative enterprise and witnessing its growing impact. New Profit has been able to identify, guide, and scale many of the nation’s leading social entrepreneur-led organizations; these pathbreaking entities have had a significant impact on some of our nation’s most difficult social challenges.

Yet, the vast majority of dynamic problem-solving organizations lack the resources to acheive financial stability as they work toward systemic change. New Profit’s financial investment in these entrpreneurial endeavors and its strategic advisory assistance helps set them on a path of greater scale and success. My fellow board members and I are delighted to support New Profit’s strategic model because we have witnessed the return on our investment through measureable outcomes.

“ The Board and I are delighted to support New Profit’s strategic model because we have witnessed the return on our investment through measureable outcomes.”

JOSH BEKENSTEIN MANGING DIRECTOR, BAIN CAPITAL BOARD CHAIR, NEW PROFIT INC. INVESTOR SINCE 2002 BOARD MEMBER SINCE 2004

We see the opportunities for greater impact that can be achieved with the help of additional philanthropic partners. To that end, in 2012 the Board approved a strategic campaign for New Profit.

The goal for this three year campaign is $125M. Board members are actively involved in reaching out to other philanthropic leaders to join us in supporting New Profit. As you read through this Annual Report, I hope you get a sense of the profound impact we are seeing daily and the systemic change we envision.

Sincerely,

JOSH BEKENSTEIN BOARD CHAIR, NEW PROFIT INC.

A New Strategic Collaboration “ We look forward to building on the tremendous achievements that Monitor Group and New Profit have accomplished over the past decade. Deloitte strongly believes that one of the best ways we can drive social change is to do what we do best every day—provide our services and intellectual capital to solve urgent challenges.

The New Profit and Deloitte relationship exemplifies a powerful public-private model to address community needs.”

MIKE CANNING, PRINCIPAL, DELOITTE CONSULTING LLP AND NATIONAL MANAGING DIRECTOR FOR DELOITTE’S STRATEGY & OPERATIONS PRACTICE.

After more than a decade of collaboration between New Profit and Monitor Group, Monitor was acquired by Deloitte LLP in January, 2013. The following June, New Profit and Deloitte announced a multi-million dollar collaboration to continue and deepen the relationship, supporting the growth and increasing the impact of groundbreaking solutions in education, workforce development, public health, and poverty alleviation.

As part of the collaboration, Deloitte provides strategic advisory services for New Profit and our portfolio organizations. The pro bono work with New Profit is part of Deloitte’s commitment to provide $60 million in pro bono services to nonprofit organizations over a three-year period (FY2012-2014). Deloitte is investing the time and talent of its people to strengthen communities across the country. The $60 million pledge, committed in April 2012, brought the organization’s total investment to more than $110 million.

Deloitte is one of the most philanthropically-minded businesses in the world and we are proud to be working with them. By leveraging the best of what both organizations have to offer, our collaboration will significantly enhance our ability to drive innovation, outcomes and scale in the social sector. We are grateful to have the opportunity to work with and benefit from Deloitte’s world-class resources.

APPROACH

Our Approach New Profit is a nonprofit social innovation organization and venture philanthropy fund seeking to increase social mobility by accelerating the best ideas across the nation. With the partnership of our philanthropic investors, we support social entrepreneurs in growing their impact in education, workforce development, public health, poverty alleviation, and other levers of social mobility: •• We INVEST financial and intellectual capital in a portfolio of social entrepreneurs and help them to grow their organizations, increase the scale and quality of their impact, expand their networks, and transform their fields.

•• We BUILD communities of leaders from all sectors around bold visions emerging from portfolio entrepreneurs, and craft the collective, systemschanging agendas to fuel their social innovations.

The Gathering of Leaders is our signature platform for this work.

•• We STRENGTHEN ecosystems for social innovation.

Our nonpartisan America Forward initiative shapes public policy platforms and drives advocacy campaigns that release the potential of social innovation. We also participate in research and development on next-generation ideas, including a Pay for Success pilot and other initiatives to grow the human and financial capital necessary to solve pressing social problems.

Our 2012-13 Investment Selection Process We connect with approximately 250 organizations a year.

•• The 250+ individuals who are a part of our Investment Referral Network send promising social entrepreneurs our way.

•• We conduct Discovery Conversations with high potential social entrepreneurs to learn about their organizations and to educate them about New Profit.

•• Many organizations reach out to us directly to find out if they could be a match for an investment.

In Fall 2012, we formally opened our Letter of Inquiry (LOI) process, and we received more than 90 applications for funding.

At the conclusion of Reading and Ranking, we advanced 15 organizations into our Screening process.

•• The LOI provides us with critical information about candidate organizations to help us make informed decisions about which organizations should advance to our subsequent investment selection rounds.

•• During Screening, we explore our early hypotheses about the risks and strengths of each deal through dialogue with the organizations’ social entrepreneurs.

•• Through our Reading and Ranking process, each LOI is carefully evaluated by no less than three New Profit readers.

•• LOIs are scored across more than 10 dimensions of our Investment Selection Criteria.

•• Using a combination of art and science, measurement, and evaluation, we identify the highest potential candidates.

•• We also begin to conduct landscape analysis to understand where each organization fits within the broader ecosystem.

•• We provide coaching and mentoring to social entrepreneurs to present an effective pitch to the New Profit board during either Screening or Due Diligence.

Five organizations were selected for Due Diligence.

•• Due Diligence entails a deep analysis of an organization’s program and economic model, strategy, leadership, and overall fit with New Profit.

•• Data collection occurs through review of primary documents; a series of interviews with the social entrepreneur, senior staff, and key stakeholders; and site visits.

•• Our goals are to gain a multi-faceted understanding of the organization and to orient the social entrepreneur to the high-touch New Profit engagement model.

Finally, with the addition of our reinvestment in New Teacher Center we presented the board with six organizations.

THE ACHIEVEMENT NETWORK works alongside school leadership teams to strengthen their schoolwide practice and culture of using learning standards and achievement data to get breakthrough results for students in underserved communities.

EDUCATORS 4 EXCELLENCE (E4E) is a teacherled organization that elevates the profession by giving classroom teachers a meaningful voice in the creation of policies that impact their careers and their classrooms. E4E works uniquely within the system, building a broad movement and empowering educators to help create better policy and advocate for its implementation.

EYE TO EYE, the only national LD/ADHD organization and movement dedicated to mentoring, pairing high school and college students with elementary and middle schoolers.

FOODCORPS is a nationwide team of AmeriCorps leaders who connect kids to real food and help them grow up healthy. These leaders are in limited-resource communities for a year of public service where they teach hands-on lessons about food and nutrition, build and tend school gardens, and teach cooking lessons; and help change what’s on lunch trays, giving kids healthy food from local farms.

NEW CLASSROOMS designs new instructional models that reimagine the role of educators, the use of time, the configuration of physical space, and the use of data and technology to better meet the needs of each student.

NEW TEACHER CENTER partners with states, school districts, and policymakers nationwide to advocate for, design, and implement research-based, high-quality induction, mentoring and professional development programs that build leadership capacity, improve teacher retention, and help close the achievement gap in our nation’s schools. NTC also works to improve teaching conditions to transform schools into vibrant learning communities where all students succeed.

Doug is an influential Board member and a critical thought partner to our senior team. iMentor was selected for inclusion in New Profit’s Social Innovation Fund portfolio. A team of dedicated pro bono consultants from Monitor supported the creation of iMentor’s 2013-2018 strategic plan. iMentor has also received pro bono leadership development support from the New Profit talent team.

He never shys away from direct feedback and he’s willing to take on leadership in a variety of formats within the network.

Spotlight on Widespread Impact Working with Health Leads Before: Can you describe Health Leads’ scale and impact before you started working with New Profit?

REBECCA ONIE: Prior to New Profit, Health Leads was primarily

focused on scaling our direct impact on patients through growth SOCIAL ENTREPRENEUR Rebecca Onie

to new clinical locations and enhancements to our program model.

MISSION Health Leads believes that a

different kind of healthcare system is possible for America—one that addresses all patients’ basic resource needs as a standard part of quality care. We believe that one day, all healthcare providers will be able to prescribe solutions that improve health, not just manage disease.

MODEL In clinics where Health Leads

operates, doctors can “prescribe” basic resources such as food and heating assistance for their low income patients, just as they do medication. Patients then take their prescriptions to the clinic waiting room, where Health Leads’ corps of college volunteers work side-by-side with patients to connect them to the resources they need to be healthy.

model, which connects patients to the basic resources they need to be healthy, and after-school programs for children with chronic diseases. Although we knew that we envisioned a healthcare system that addresses all patients’ basic resource needs as a standard part of quality care, we didn’t yet have a theory of change for how we could achieve that systemic change—which is exactly what New Profit’s engagement enabled us to articulate.

During: How has your partnership with New Profit helped Health Leads?

REBECCA ONIE: New Profit has been a pivotal thought partner, advisor

and investor in Health Leads’ evolution from effective direct-service organization to an organization with a clear theory for how to build a program model, business model, and sector leadership strategy that would position us to enact transformation in the healthcare sector. Over the past seven years, this has manifested in several ways: in 2008, New Profit’s advanced strategic and analytical support led us to close our youth programs and focus on the Desk as our vehicle for change. As we developed our current strategic plan, we were fortunate to leverage New Profit’s partnerships with Monitor and Bain Capital, whose teams of consultants enabled us to build a sophisticated program and cost model centered around scaling our desks, building a compelling business case for healthcare institutions to pay for Health Leads’ services, developing a leadership pipeline of future healthcare leaders, and preparing for

Today, we work in adult, pediatric, and prenatal outpatient clinics in health systems and community health centers across the U.S.—three quarters of whom are paying for some or all of our services.

This year, we will train and deploy nearly 1,000 college student Advocates to connect over 14,500 low-income patients and their families to the resources they need to be healthy. Our aspiration, however, is not only to connect yet more patients to resources but rather, as our engagement with New Profit has taught us, to focus

WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR FAVORITE PART ABOUT WORKING WITH HEALTH LEADS? Undoubtedly, working with leaders like Rebecca Onie and Sarah DiTroia (COO at Health Leads).

Together they are courageous, creative, extremely competent, and confident without going anywhere near cocky. Vanessa often describes being a deal partner like being an Olympic coach. Working with these Olympians of social justice is a professional and personal lifetime highlight.

on pathways to making this the “new normal” for the healthcare sector. We are currently partnering with health systems to create visible proof points of healthcare systems that are integrating—both from a clinical and a financial standpoint—services to address patients’ social needs into their standard operations. We are also now focused on co-evaluating the value of addressing patients’ social needs, as well as placing ‘big bets’ on our health system partners to serve as evangelists and catalysts in achieving a shared vision for the healthcare system.

What is your favorite part about working with New Profit and your deal partner, Eliza Greenberg?

WHAT MAKES HEALTH LEADS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF SUCCESSFUL WIDESPREAD IMPACT? Health Leads is actually on the brink of broad adoption within health care institutions. What was once a free service to hospitals and clinics has now, in many cases, become a service that institutions are willing to pay for at cost and, increasingly, at scale. If they continue on their current trajectory, their model will become embedded in all major health institutions thereby putting Health Leads out of business!

Eliza Greenberg LEAD PARTNER, PORTFOLIO OPERATIONS, NEW PROFIT

REBECCA ONIE: It is powerful to be part of a portfolio of

organizations that are all seeking to create systemic change and leverage ecosystems of partners to accomplish that change. There is enormous organizational value in being a part of this unique community. We can always rely on Eliza and the New Profit team to provide incredibly candid feedback, as well as partner with us in both surfacing best practices and predicting future challenges before we see them coming.

JONAH EDELMAN: Before Stand became the first advocacy SOCIAL ENTREPRENEUR Jonah Edelman MISSION To ensure that all children,

regardless of their background, graduate from high school prepared for, and with access to, a college education.

MODEL Stand has more than a decade of

experience working together with parents, communities and organizations as partners.

They deliver policy victories at the state level and they follow through to ensure new policies are effectively implemented in public school classrooms.

organization to join the New Profit portfolio, we had four state affiliates, worked in seven or eight school districts, and had just begun to shift from being focusing solely on education funding to advocating for policies and investments that would make the most difference in improving disadvantaged students’ success.

At the time, I believe we had roughly 45 staff overall and, at the national level, we had a bunch of very smart and hardworking overachievers who were early in their careers and generally lacked substantial expertise in key areas of organizational operations. We were making an impact, for sure, but I’d say we hadn’t fully hit our stride.

Stand in a range of areas, among them strategic planning, board development, building a strong national talent function, program evaluation, and broadening our donor base. But as important as all of those things were, looking back, the most important valueadd was the way the partnership helped me develop as a leader.

Thanks to Vanessa Kirsch and to the example of Wendy Kopp, Michael Brown, Gerald Chertavian, and so many others in the New Profit community that I so greatly respect, I set my sights even higher. I started holding myself to a higher standard. The New Profit partnership helped me expand my vision for what Stand could become and my sense of how fast we could get there.

24 NEW PROFIT ANNUAL REPORT 2012-2013

APPROACH

What is the state of Stand’s impact now?

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN AT NEW PROFIT? Since July, 2007.

JONAH EDELMAN: Since Stand entered the New Profit

portfolio in 2008 , we have more than tripled in size.

Stand now has affiliates in eleven states that have more than 18 million students, and, within those states, we have local chapters in 22 school districts that serve more than 2 million students. More important than our expanded scale, we’re getting profoundly greater results because of greater strategic clarity, a stronger team, more effective performance management, and more effective operational systems and processes.

In 2013, Stand affiliates played a key role in 30 statelevel policy or budget victories and 14 district level successes that will positively impact literally millions of students, including protecting the Common Core, improving access to high quality charter schools, automatically qualifying academically promising students into AP or IB classes to prevent their being tracked into non-college prep courses, securing funds for pre-k, teacher mentoring, and interventions to improve 3rd grade reading proficiency. We also expanded our Stand UP program, a 10 week course to teach low-income parents how to better support their children’s education, which is now operating in 7 cities and has graduated 1,470 parents and we’re positioned for an even bigger impact to come. This is a markedly more effective organization than the one that entered the New Profit portfolio five years ago.

WHAT MAKES STAND AN EXAMPLE OF A SUCCESSFUL PORTFOLIO EXIT? We saw enormous growth in the time Stand was in our portfolio. At exit, New Profit’s support was still helpful, but not critical for them in navigating the challenges they were facing. By then they had built the capabilities and capacity to bring many of our offerings in-house—they could hire and manage their own team, they had built a strong board and network of supporters, they had internalized capabilities to manage and execute strategic growth.

In summary, Stand for Children earned their place on the nationwide stage and was poised to become a nationwide proof point for the power of social entrepreneurs to solve our nations most pressing problems.

WHAT COULD THE FUTURE LOOK LIKE FOR STAND FOR CHILDREN? Stand is currently operating in 11 states, but already on the verge of getting to a nationwide tipping point in education. Their reach covers rural/urban, red states/ blue states, north, south, east, and west, giving them credibility as a leading voice in education reform.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PART ABOUT WORKING WITH STAND FOR CHILDREN? They had such a hunger for learning and growth! If they hit a bump, they immediately reflected on what caused it, how to go about fixing it, and what learnings they could take from it to improve going forward.

Shruti Sehra PARTNER, NEW PROFIT

What has been your favorite part about working with New Profit?

JONAH EDELMAN: It’s the capability of the New Profit

staff and the can-do culture at New Profit. New Profit reflects Vanessa’s boundless sense of possibility and her willingness to go all out to get results. I absolutely love that. I loved working with a partner that’s as driven as Stand is to make a major impact on the lives of students who need our help TODAY.

What is Our Domain Approach?

Domains are based on, and will continue to emphasize, New Profit’s entrepreneurial values and track record of helping social entrepreneurs scale impact and build sustainable organizations.

DOMAIN

Pathways Only 60% of America’s low-income youth graduate from high school.

Only 8.3% of students from low-income families have earned a bachelor’s degree by their mid-20s.

Over 4.3 million youth (18-24 years old) in the US are not attending school, not working, and have no credentials beyond high school.

DOMAIN

Domains welcome those with bold aspirations, an appetite for risk and are dissatisfied with the status quo.

Domains enable social entrepreneurs, funders, New Profit and other committed players to engage through powerful vulnerability to build strong partnerships.

Domains become communities where partners develop and launch disruptive innovation into fields catalyzing actors in those fields.

Reimagine Learning Too many students are underserved by current instructional means. They lack the preparation and critical skills necessary to succeed within and outside school. This is particularly true for students with learning differences and students impacted by the trauma associated with poverty.

A number of important factors—ranging from new developments in neuroscience to technology to the standards movement—are coming together to create a moment of urgency and opportunity for dramatic change for students.

DOMAIN IN EXPLORATION

Domains explore the boundaries of a field and those adjacent fields. This, in turn, opens up new possibilities for where innovation can occur and unexpected connections are made and outcomes can be realized. Domain partners get smarter because they are connected to these networks.

1) There is no such thing as the “average learner.”

Instructional approaches in optimal learning environments should be personalized to the differing talents and needs— or variability—of every child; 2) The development of both cognitive and social-emotional skills is important. The best learning environments recognize that they are inextricably linked and together drive academic performance, well-being, and life success; and 3) Students should be engaged and in control of their own learning, harnessing and strengthening their own selfagency and voice.

OUR TARGET

To achieve this type of transformative change, the domain has built a coalition of visionary actors—social entrepreneurs, funders, policy advocates, researchers, and creative and entertainment community members—who are working together to align actions to change practice, policy, and culture. To this end, the domain aims to: •• Select and scale innovative, high-impact and sustainable demonstration points •• Support, incubate, and design collaborations •• Create policies that incentivize schools, remove barriers, and build capacity •• Explore ways to alter public perception and behavior to drive public will and demand for a new vision of learning

Raise the Talent Game

2 014 marked the 10th anniversary of New Profit’s Gathering of Leaders, one of the nation’s most influential convenings of top social innovators and their counterparts in business, government, philanthropy, media, technology and academia.

An invitation-only event, approximately 250 Gathering participants come together annually for an intimate two-day convening to accelerate solutions to our nation’s toughest problems in early childhood development, K-12 and post-secondary education, workforce development, community health, poverty, and related areas.

Participants challenge each other’s beliefs and assumptions, forge new connections, spark ideas, align strategies, and shape initiatives that unlock the potential of social innovation to expand social mobility in communities across the nation.

32 NEW PROFIT ANNUAL REPORT 2012-2013

Gathering participants have developed the ideas, networks, and initiatives to increase human capital for social innovation, including organization-level and field-wide talent initiatives and trainings to recruit, develop, and retain talent; and the creation of a national nonprofit talent firm. Today that firm, Commongood Careers, is relied on as an experienced nationwide nonprofit search firm.

Catalyze Thought Leaders’ Work The Gathering has catalyzed new intellectual capital for social innovation.

Inspired by their involvement in the Gathering, thought leader Jim Collins wrote a monograph exploring how his ideas play out in the social sector, disruptive innovation specialist Clay Christensen wrote a book applying the ideas of disruptive innovation to education and technology, and David Gergen has collected and integrated insights to evolve the strategy of the Center for Public Leadership at Harvard Kennedy School.

Civic Engagement & Citizen Mobilization In the face of drastic threats to the federal national service budget, Gathering participants created Save Service, an initiative to help leaders and communities across the nation to understand the impact of service in local neighborhoods and build support for its continuation. The Save Service campaign ensured the survival of AmeriCorps, which puts national service human capital into communities nationwide. In addition, participants have advanced innovative policy in the areas of education, workforce development, and Pay for Success.

Greetings!

At New Profit, innovation and impact are among our most important core values. In 2012, we set a course for ambitious fundraising to fuel future investment deals and support our current portfolio organizations as they scale their impact.

We are now in our third phase of fundraising since our inception in 1998 and have designated a goal of $125 million to be raised over three years. The additional revenue will allow us to support a greater number of social entrepreneurs at a more profound funding level. In 2012, we raised a total of $34.9 million and we secured an additional $41.6 million in 2013. We focus on engaging philanthropic partners who share our mission to bring innovative measurable solutions to some of America’s most intractable problems in education, workforce development, public health, and poverty alleviation. This is the core of our strategic plan.

In the past year, we also explored and established domains, which are initiatives focused on specific issue areas, such as pathways to college success and beyond, learning differences and social-emotional learning, and early childhood. These domains bring together funders, thought leaders, policy experts, and social entrepreneurs to develop solutions in these important issue areas.

We invite you to review the list of our generous investors and supporters. With your help, we can continue to build a network of social entrepreneurs who drive impact toward systemic change. And with your financial support, we will make an even greater difference for communities and families across America.

Kind regards,

New Profit exists to STRENGTHEN, CONNECT, and AMPLIFY their potential.

We invest in the BEST, so they can reach the MOST. Standing shoulder to shoulder with leaders, we remove obstacles and clear the way to impact.

We build networks of excellence to multiply their efforts.
