New Federal Initiatives for Non Profits
The Social Innovation Fund
Yesterday, (May 5th, 2009) the President announced
that he would ask Congress in the FY2010 budget to provide $50 million
in seed capital for his Social Innovation Fund, fulfilling a campaign
pledge. The Fund will identify the most promising, results-oriented
non-profit programs and expand their reach throughout the country.
This is a dramatically different way
for the government to do business – and it reflects the President’s new
governing approach -- finding and scaling the best social innovations;
partnering with those who are leading change in their communities; and
creating a policy environment for all these innovations to thrive.
President Obama has said that this is
an "all-hands-on-deck" moment and that government cannot solve our
nation’s problems alone. He has said that it is critical to partner
with citizens, nonprofits, social entrepreneurs, foundations and
corporations to make progress on our nation’s great challenges.
