Inside Innovation Funding: Exploring Philanthropy at the Intersection of Problem-Solving, Technology & Design
SEE EVENT DETAILS
Increasingly funders are experimenting with innovation funding, but how are they defining innovation, and what can we learn from approaches that are working? Building on Foundation Center’s recent GrantCraft and Glasspockets blog series, funders will explain how they are applying and adapting strategies from the tech sector to strengthen and scale social sector endeavors.
