Welcome to the Stanford Social Innovation Review! We invite you to learn more about SSIR by taking a tour or browsing articles from past issues. We hope that you will find SSIR a provocative, practical, and powerful resource. If so, please join the exceptional community of SSIR readers by subscribing.
Our mission at SSIR is to share substantive insights and practical experiences that will help those who do the important work of improving society do it even better.
The work of SSIR is guided by our values. "Social innovation" stands in our name for a reason: to remind our authors, our audience, and ourselves that this journal's purpose is to lead in the search for new and better ways of improving the lot of the world.
We seek to strike a balance between the pragmatic and the intellectual, to embrace no predefined political ideology, and to champion the interests of no single constituency. Instead, we will broker conversations, ask hard questions, disseminate the fruits of rigorous research, and present real-life case studies.
Our contributors are a diverse group of world-class faculty, thought leaders, and executives. Our readers are leaders in the fields of nonprofit management, corporate social responsibility, social entrepreneurship, and philanthropy. We write for a community of professionals, united in their desire to build enduring organizations and to promote innovative solutions to social problems.
Let us introduce you to the team of faculty and thought leaders who ensure the editorial excellence of SSIR. In addition to our editorial staff, we are guided by an editorial council and advisory board of academics and practitioners.
