Celebrating results

We measure our success in the social sector by the results our social-sector clients achieve. In 2010 we launched the Bain Cares Results Challenge, the mirror image of our long-standing Results Challenge that honors outstanding impact for our for-profit clients.

In the Bain Cares Results Challenge's second year, entries poured in from 20 offices detailing 50 organizations we served, from The Jet Li One Foundation in China and Doctors without Borders in Europe to StudentsFirst and Endeavor in the US. Challenge winners were chosen by our global leadership team and received donations to their partner organizations.
