2013 Social Innovator
Root Cause Social Innovation Forum
Since 2003, Root Cause’s Social Innovation Forum has been working to create a social impact market that distributes resources to organizations based on performance in order to most efficiently and effectively solve social problems in Greater Boston. Our aspiration is to build a social impact investment community that will invest and re-invest resources in innovative, results-oriented nonprofits, thus advancing innovation in social impact. The Social Innovation Forum provides a unique opportunity for innovative nonprofit organizations and social enterprises to gain visibility, expand their networks, and build capacity. The Social Innovation Forum annually selects four to six Social Innovators, and features them in the May showcase event. The showcase event, which is modeled on a venture capital forum, gives Innovators the opportunity to pitch their organizations to an audience of funders – including business leaders, foundations, government officials, and philanthropists. The showcase event also provides funders with a networking opportunity.
