The North Carolina Healthcare Foundation designed the Social Impact Playbook and Social Impact Hub to help North Carolina nonprofit and community leaders address barriers to health through collaborative, community-based solutions.
The Social Impact Playbook provides the framework for creating meaningful, community-led solutions – from concept to sustainability. It offers practical strategies, grounded in lived experience, to support others in launching or deepening their own social impact efforts, with case examples from Robeson County, NC. The goal is to inspire sustainable change and help communities across North Carolina not only survive but truly thrive.
Along with the Playbook, the Social Impact Hub is a free forum to facilitate dialogue, learning, partnerships, and investments that improve health outcomes. It includes:
- Social Impact Playbook – Methodologies for improving social impact
- Mini-Grantee Spotlights – Pilot partner case studies exploring non-medical drivers of health
- Peer-to-Peer Engagement – Forums for professionals in the social impact field to connect and collaborate
- Social Impact Tools – Digital tools to support impact measurement and implementation
- Social Impact Resources – Curated links, downloads, and articles for continued learning
