John Salter comments on Leaf’s Past Successes and Uncertain Future

I think this post would be more compelling if you shared more data (e.g. cost per participant, leading indicators of impact), how much money you got from EAIF etc

Thanks John! Happy to share a few of the specific metrics behind the track record highlights, and we can share more data and reasoning docs. by request. From our spring 2024 programmes (latest analysed data) we estimated:

• £5.15 per hour of direct engagement

• £26 per connection made by Fellows and Finalists

• £199 per completed Fellow

• £1,237 per highly engaged EA

We hope to roughly ~halve costs/​Fellow this coming summer based primarily on larger discussion group sizes and lower facilitator costs.
