Organisational Membership
Organisational SIMNA membership is for any organisation that takes social impact seriously – whether you’re embedding impact practice across your team, building internal capability, or simply making sure your people aren’t working in isolation.
Here’s what it means in practice.
- Shared language and practice. When team members are drawing on the same frameworks and terminology, internal conversations about outcomes, impact and value become easier, and more productive. Organisational membership helps build that common ground, connecting your team to contemporary Australian practice and international approaches through SVI. It also reduces the risk of social impact knowledge sitting with just one person, making your organisation’s practice more resilient.
- Light-touch capacity building. Not every organisation has the budget or bandwidth for formal training programs. SIMNA membership gives your team access to practical professional development that fits around busy workloads – events, resources and curated thinking that builds capability without adding complexity. And because SIMNA draws from across sectors, your team gets exposure to ideas and approaches from beyond your immediate field.
- Credibility and alignment. Organisational membership signals that your organisation takes impact measurement seriously, without claiming to have all the answers. That matters in conversations with funders, partners and boards, and it positions your organisation as aligned with national best practice in a way that’s credible and honest.
- Better value than you might think. Organisational membership is significantly more cost-effective than individual memberships added up separately. It’s also straightforward to administer – a simple, low-fuss way to invest in your team without the complexity of managing multiple individual memberships.
Pricing
Membership for a small team of up to eight is $400+GST per year. For a large team of up to 25, the cost is $800+GST per year.
