These Stanford Social Innovation Review features are an ode to the 10th anniversary of the magazine's start. Also known as SSIR, the magazine and website comes out of the Stanford Center on Philanthropy and Civil Society at Stanford University. SSIR is currently available online through subscription and delivery service and also for sale in various physical locations in both Canada and the United States.
"SSIR is written for and by social change leaders in the nonprofit, business, and government sectors who view collaboration as key to solving environmental, social, and economic justice issues," SSIR writes on its about page. From localized impact investing to beneficiary design, these Stanford Social Innovation Review features include some enterprises, businesses and non-profit organizations that have been analyzed in some of the articles of the website and magazine itself.
