Sparking Social Innovation in the Lone Star State

Texas has always been innovative and entrepreneurial. So it should be no surprise that the social sector in our state is launching a social inovation initiative in a "big" way.

DSVP is proud to participate in bringing these ideas to North Texas in a collaborative way with OneStar Foundation and Root Cause.

Please tune in to this blog space (click to the home page) on December 9th from 10:30am-11:15am to watch a virutal new media press conference! We will talk about the work we are doing together, how social innovation is changing the way nonprofits do business, and announce social innovations that have been selected to help kick off this initiative. Even with a regional focus, this work is indicative of a bigger trend to collaborate at the national, state and local levels to stimulate socially innovative activities in communities.

In the meantime, check out the media advisory, or read about how Social Innovation at an Inflection Point, or check out the Govenor's Nonprofit Leadership Conference where all of this will get announced!
