Our membership includes many of the world’s most respected organizations, enterprises, and NGOs. We are artists and activists, entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs, government agencies and national foundations, university departments and Fortune 500s. And we all envision an economy that is sustainable, equitable, and prosperous for all.
Whether you are a newcomer to the world of social innovation, a seasoned entrepreneur looking for tools to support your venture’s success, or a supporter of social impact projects, we have something for you.
