Abstract
This research highlights the importance of social investment (SI) as a new approach for financing development. It is particularly relevant in the community practice of developmental social work, particularly in the context of community development projects. Social investment aims to create tangible services for community members and achieve both financial and social returns through investment instruments and social enterprises. This research seeks to analyze the current state of organizations' capabilities for SI. It also aims to determine the reality of social investment practices as a new approach for developmental financing NGOs. The results of the study indicate acceptance of the hypotheses. The level of organizations' capabilities towards social investment is medium, with a mean 3.84. In addition, the level of influencing factors towards adoption of social investment strategy is low, with a mean of 2.50. The level of social investment barriers and challenges is medium, with a mean of 3.50. It was determined that the respondents agree that lack of knowledge creation and sharing (with a mean 4.20), and the lack of an enabling policy environment (with a mean 3.98) are major barriers and challenges for social investment for financing.
