Direct peers

• Centre for Social Impact (CSI): Australian social impact education, research, and advisory organisation. Direct peer to SIH given overlap in social-enterprise advisory, impact education, and ecosystem-building activities for the Australian for-purpose sector.
• Impact Investing Australia: Australian peak body for impact investing and administrator of SEDI grants in partnership with SIH. Comparable given shared focus on growing the Australian impact investing ecosystem and providing advisory to enterprises seeking impact capital.
• Social Ventures Australia: Australian impact intermediary providing advisory, investment, and capacity building to social enterprises. Closely comparable to SIH in mission, target customers (foundations, social enterprises), and impact investment readiness services.
• YGAP: Australian and global social enterprise accelerator supporting early-stage impact ventures. Comparable to SIH's Scaling Impact Accelerator and Catalysing Impact programs in cohort design, advisory delivery, and target founders.
• Echoing Green: Global fellowship and leadership development organisation for emerging social entrepreneurs. Direct peer to SIH's Fellowship, Westpac Social Change Fellowship, and Harvard Ferris Family Fellowships in target audience and program structure.
• Acumen Academy: Global impact education and fellowship platform offering cohort-based learning for social leaders. Comparable to SIH's Social Impact Fellowship, Playbook, and bespoke education products in terms of curriculum, learner profile, and mission.

Broad incumbents

• B Lab Global: Global non-profit certifying B Corps. SIH is itself a B Corp; B Lab represents the broader incumbent standards/ecosystem player that legitimises SIH's certification and influences the social enterprise community it serves.
• Skoll Foundation: Global impact foundation investing in social entrepreneurs and ecosystem organisations. Comparable to SIH's Catalysing Impact and Scaling Impact programs in backing individual leaders and scaling impact enterprises.
• McKinsey Social Sector Practice: Global management consulting firm with a dedicated social sector practice serving foundations, NGOs, and impact investors. Overlaps with SIH's advisory, strategy, and impact measurement services, though at much larger scale and price points.

Regional players

• Social Enterprise UK: UK peak body for social enterprises providing advocacy, advisory, and ecosystem support. Comparable to SIH's role in Australia but operates in a different geography, offering a useful peer reference for international expansion strategy.
