EARLY IMPACT: STUDY OF A YOUNG MOVEMENT

Surge cannot be a movement in name only. The impact must be tangible, visible and measurable. That’s why we sought accurate and unbiased data to measure our organizational impact on the communities we serve. For the task we engaged Mission Measurement, a leader in the field of social impact measurement with more than 10 years of expertise.

The Findings

The most poignant and significant of Mission Measurement’s findings was that, through the success of the Surge Fellowship, the Surge Institute achieves its mission.

We produce diverse, effective, and authentic representation in executive leadership positions and dense, supportive, influential networks of diverse leaders.
