The result was an SROI value of 22.04, which means that every euro invested in Grow Together has created a monetised equivalent value of 22.04 euros. The greatest profit was generated for the children and infants, who are the central stakeholder group of Grow Together. The second and third largest profit shares were generated by the stakeholders of the City of Vienna and the social insurance providers. Thanks to the early childhood support, the public sector and social insurance organisations benefited from savings in follow-up costs from illnesses and care needs that would arise in the course of the children's and infants' lives without the early support provided by Grow Together. A scenario was also calculated in the analysis to determine how many years need to be invested in order to achieve long-term effects: if the effects achieved by Grow Together in two years are only achieved after four years, the SROI value is still 11.11 euros.

In an alternative scenario, the long-term effects were eliminated from the analysis. This has significantly reduced the SROI value to 2.51. It is therefore clear to see that the long-term effects in particular offer a high social return in this project. Prevention therefore pays off particularly in the long term. At the same time, however, it can be seen that Grow Together has also created positive added value for society in the short to medium term.
