The Centre for Social Innovation is a social enterprise with a mission to catalyze social innovation in its home base of Toronto and around the globe. We believe that society is facing unprecedented economic, environmental, social and cultural challenges. We also believe that new innovations are the key to turning these challenges into opportunities to improve our communities and our planet.

Staff & Board
The Centre for Social Innovation is lead by a small but dedicated group of individuals committed to social change.
Funders & Supporters
