During this last step, it has been identified that the 2013 edition of Falla represented an investment that contributed to both economic growth and to the social development of young people and families for the year 2014. This means that the investment from the government and private partners of $317,206 generated an economic gain and avoided costs of $603,772. When applying the discount rate of 2.8% (value of Treasury Bills and 10?year Canadian Bonds), that sum amounts to $586,866. Dividing this amount by the initial investment (SROI ratio) gives us $1.85. This means that for every dollar invested in the Falla project in 2013 there was a return of $1.85.

Evaluierung der Aktivität
The study is part of a pan?Canadian project funded by the SSHRC, and similar studies on the social return on investment have been conducted across the country. The study is based on the use of a qualitative methodology based on 18 semi?structured interviews with people who met the following criteria: a) individuals who participated in the la Falla project; b) individuals who work or have worked in la Tohu’s Customer Service; c) managers of work integration programs; d) directors/administrators of la Tohu. The overall research approach was participatory. To this end, a monitoring or oversight committee comprised of representatives of the staff of la Tohu and representatives of the university was established to oversee the entire study. Three meetings were held to co?determine the objectives and the research methodology.
