We are social impact engineers.
In 2016, Jesus Salazar founded Prosono with an ambitious goal. He wanted to find a way to use the methodological rigor and scientific precision of his engineering background to “scale up” positive social impact, so that companies, foundations, non-profits, government entities, educators and civil society groups would have the tools they needed to make the world a better place – while simultaneously achieving their financial and institutional goals.
Today, Prosono is an outcome-oriented, social impact advisory firm. Our team of experts across industries, like our founder, consider ourselves “social impact engineers.” We collaborate with clients to evaluate what’s working and create bespoke programs to help them achieve their social impact goals – all while working smarter, more efficiently, more effectively and (in the case of our private sector clients) more profitably.
We are known for following through. Our highly collaborative team works side-by-side with our clients to discover new approaches to the challenges they face, then help implement new solutions to persistent challenges to achieve maximumsocial impact. We believe that every client engagement should help make the world we share a better place. So we take their work seriously. We know it matters.
