´Scaling Social Impact could not be released at a more opportune moment. When resources to support social change seem more limited than ever, two of our field´s most significant thought leaders collaborate to bring us some of the best, most current and engaging perspectives on a topic that to this point one might argue has been more fad than strategy. By presenting us with writings from a host of researchers and experienced field builders, Bloom and Skloot offer us not only vision but informed, research-based insights into the concept and complications of what it means to attain the highest potential of effective social programs.´ - Jed Emerson, Founder, Blended Value Group
