Social innovation seeks new answers to social problems by identifying and delivering new
services that IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE of individuals and communities.
Obama’s social innovation fundOn July 22nd Barack Obama’s administration listed the first 11 investments by its new Social Innovation Fund (SIF). About $50m of public money, more than matched by $74m from philanthropic foundations, will be given to some of America’s most successful non-profit organizations, in order to expand their work in health care, in creating jobs and in supporting young people (see the right table)
why social entrepreneurs help?• Innovative projects may reduce social
problems, but the speed of spreading innovations is slowly.
• In business, entrepreneurial firms that do well grow fast; but social entrepreneurship does not yet have a Microsoft or a Google.
• Policymakers hope that with encouragement from social entrepreneurs best ideas can be spread faster and wider.
