Intentional Innovation in Philanthropy

The report called Intentional Innovation: How Getting More Systematic about Innovation Could Improve Philanthropy and Increase Social Impact, calls to the importance and value of thinking and using more systematically about innovation in the work of philanthropy and nonprofit sector.
 
Through this study, the Kellogg Foundation, working with Clohesy Consulting and the Monitor Group, learned some concepts for helping change the way the social sector thinks about innovation.

 “We can see that innovation is not just about creating new ideas; it is about finishing things we start, and about having the patience and commitment to help innovations go to scale, not just seeding the development of new things,” says Kellogg Foundation leadership in the Foreword of this new report.

This online report offers both an executive summary and the full report.
