Pulse of the for-purpose sector - final report: wave 1 Description 2020 has been a year of significant economic, health and societal shocks in Australia as a result of both the 2019-2020 bushfire season and the effects of COVID-19. These shocks have significantly and rapidly increased demand on the services of many for-purpose sector organisations, while radically challenging their organisational and service models in many cases. In 2020, the Centre for Social Impact (CSI) launched the Pulse of the For-Purpose Sector & Building Back Better national research program to generate timely and longitudinal data in support of the sector and the communities it serves.
