Opportunity Knocks

Stacey and I had a wonderful opportunity this fall to have our eyes opened to many innovative, nonprofit groups addressing the most challenging social issues in Greater Boston.  We were lucky to be asked to join close to 60 evaluators for the 2011 Social Innovation Forum selection process. The Social Innovation Forum is an initiative of Root Cause an organization that fosters innovation and collaboration to address social problems.  It was an amazing experience for both of us.

I was invited to write a guest blog about my impressions of the process and it’s posting this week.  If you are interested in reading the post and learning more about the Social Innovation Forum, head over to the Root Cause blog.  While you’re there, look over the website. The work at Root Cause and the Social Innovation Forum is compelling and you just might find an organization that you want to get involved with.

Hats Off To A Step Up Winchester

A Step Up Winchester (astepupwinch@gmail.com) founded in 2010, recently hosted their second event. They raised $4000.00 for Kim’s Project, an organization that offers services to women impacted by the sex trade and who are devoted to rescuing these women in the Boston area.  We were thrilled to see that The Winchester Star is spreading the word about the great work of A Step Up Winchester!
