Corporate Social Innovation Nation
Why It Matters
Sometimes, in the world of impact, we can have biases about "the other" and their intentions for trying to have a social or environmental impact. Working through these dividing lines has potential to open up more capital for good.
We started Future of Good Twitter chats to dive deeper into hot topics that have been resonating with our community. It’s hosted Thursdays from 12-1 p.m. ET.
This week, we spoke with Allyson Hewitt, the McConnell Foundation Senior Social Innovation Fellow at MaRS, about corporate social innovation.
IN SHORT
Corporations can be at the table beyond their pocketbooks.
A8 1/3 If we are too focused on seeing corporates only as cheque writers, we miss all the other ways we can leverage their assets for social impact #futureofgood
