10 Great Social Innovation Reads: March 2017

April 3, 2017 By Nell Edgington Leave a Comment

March offered lots of insight about how philanthropy should respond in the age of Trump. From investing in social movements, to getting involved in advocacy, to strengthening local communities, to giving more than the required 5%, there was much advice. Add to that a growing interest in how to combat “fake news,” steps to creating a digital marketing strategy, […]

10 Great Social Innovation Reads: December 2013

January 14, 2014 By Nell Edgington 1 Comment
