20 Forum-Involved Impact Initiatives

From Community Bonds to Social Innovation Hubs

— May 15, 2013 — Social Good
From community bonds and social innovation hubs to donation-based apparel companies and age awareness enterprises, these forum-involved impact initiatives have been influenced from the seemingly banal idea of a forum: a place to get together and exchange ideas on something that is in common for all of the members.

It seems simple, but the social entrepreneurship field itself prides itself on being reactive to feedback, interactive and collective so it makes sense that forums -- either as a meeting of various individual actors, businesses, government agencies or non-profit organizations or a company itself having a forum for its own customers -- have emerged as a way to do business, shown through this top list of forum-involved impact initiatives.
