Who we are
A space for collaborative innovation
The Centre for Social Innovation brings fresh and provocative thinking to bear on some of New Zealand’s most significant social needs and opportunities.
The Centre creates
- a space for innovation, where Government, business and community partners can come together to focus on some of our most pressing social needs, and
- a home where social innovators can collaborate, share and find support.
It’s a do-tank, not a think-tank.
The Centre is an independent charitable trust which will be supported by corporate, philanthropic and government partners.
