The Social Innovation Forum

The Social Innovation Forum (SIF) creates positive social change in greater Boston by engaging leaders, strengthening organizations, and building networks. Founded as a program of Root Cause Consulting in 2003, SIF spun off into an independent organization in 2015. SIF creates positive social change by: - Educating and supporting leaders of nonprofit organizations and social impact businesses so they can deliver the most effective solutions to social issues. - Engaging and informing funders and investors so they can direct resources most effectively. - Making connections and building relationships across diverse communities so people can help each other to generate significant social change. SIF was founded as a program of Root Cause, and in the summer of 2015 SIF spun-ff and became an independent organization.
