About the Social Innovation Forum
The Social Innovation Forum accelerates the development of enduring solutions to social problems by directing an alternative flow of local resources to innovative, results-oriented organizations striving for efficiency, effectiveness, and sustainability. Through an annual rigorous selection process, we choose Social Innovators demonstrating promising approaches to addressing specific social problems. We provide our Social Innovators with strategy consulting, executive coaching, and introductions to a Social Impact Investment Community made up of government leaders, foundations, and individual donors who are willing to offer time, talent, relationships, and money. Our aspiration is to build a Social Impact Investment Community that will invest and re-invest resources based on performance, in order to increase progress in solving pressing social problems. In 2008, the Social Innovation Forum worked with six dynamic Social Innovators. Learn more about our 2008 Social Innovators. |

The Social Innovation Forum is offering a minimum of $10,000 to each selected Social Innovator, with an additional $5,000 to follow if specific milestones are met in the year following the Social Innovation Showcase Event. In 2008, each Social Innovator also received access to over $104,000 in consulting, coaching, and in-kind services.
