Valuing TSOs Project

Resources 

The following resources are about valuing Third Sector Organisations (TSOs).
This involves a commitment, summarised in this article by the previous CEO of the international Third Sector body - CIVICUS - to measure what you treasure and not just treasure what we measure!


By highlighting activities in TSOs that rely on generosity as well as those that are not driven by a market approach to social planning we hope to increase understanding of the imperative for a broader, ecological approach. Many activities are not driven by government or commercial contracts alone and by making these more visible we hope to enhance respect and recognition of mahi in the Third Sector.
