Economic Impact Studies
Quantifying the Value of Vision.
At Maverick, we transform investments, capital projects, and community initiatives into clear, measurable economic stories. Our Economic Impact Studies demonstrate how your projects generate jobs, fuel local businesses, expand economic mobility, and strengthen communities—backed by transparent, data-driven analysis.
Whether you're building new facilities, revitalizing existing infrastructure, launching sustainability initiatives, or funding programs that support students and families, we quantify the measurable return on investment in ways that matter to stakeholders, funders, donors, and the public.
Why Economic Impact Studies Matter
Every project—large or small—creates ripples across a community. But most institutions and organizations struggle to capture that value in a compelling, credible way. Maverick’s Economic Impact Studies help you:
Demonstrate stewardship of donor and public dollars
Strengthen grant applications with defensible economic data
Support fundraising and capital campaigns with clear ROI
Communicate community value to partners, boards, and stakeholders
Showcase local job creation and business utilization
Highlight long-term benefits beyond construction or project launch
We give you the numbers and the narrative to show your impact with confidence.
