Social Innovation Forum
Everyday Boston is one of six nonprofit organizations in the 2021 Social Innovator cohort. Everyday Boston was selected for its unique approach in addressing racial discrimination to promote tolerance, understanding, and acceptance.
The Social Innovation Forum (SIF) is excited to welcome the six nonprofits in our 2021 Social Innovator cohort.
These Innovators are working towards social change across six distinct social issue tracks, including workforce development, civic engagement, and remote learning opportunities during and beyond the COVID-19 pandemic. As a 2021 Social Innovator, each nonprofit will receive access to more than $150,000 of cash and in-kind services, including remote training, coaching, and consulting, from SIF and its partners.
“We extend a warm welcome to these six innovative nonprofits,” said Susan Musinsky, Executive Director of the Social Innovation Forum. “They are now part of the SIF community and we look forward to providing them with the support and access to resources they need to pivot and take their work to the next level over the next 24 months.”
Below is the list of our 2021 Social Innovators along with sponsoring partners for each social issue track. Please forward this list to friends and colleagues who may be interested in learning more about these organizations!
Again, welcome to our SIF community!
