10 Great Social Innovation Reads: February 2014

March 3, 2014 By Nell Edgington Leave a Comment

February witnessed some dissatisfaction with the current state of funding for social change, but also some trailblazers playing with new financial vehicles.

10 Great Social Innovation Reads: December 2013

January 14, 2014 By Nell Edgington 1 Comment

From crowdfunding, to a new giving graph, to credit card donations to the homeless, to engaging people in the arts and beyond, people are experimenting with technology for […]

10 Great Social Innovation Reads: November 2012

December 7, 2012 By Nell Edgington 1 Comment

With a national election, hurricane Sandy, and Giving Tuesday, November was a busy month. All three events encouraged reflection about social change. And at the same time we had some pretty interesting arguments for how two of the sectors supporting social change (philanthropy and government) needed to shift as well.  All made for a fascinating […]
