Root Cause is a new kind of think tank that provides skills and actionable information to leaders in the nonprofit, government, and business sectors who are working to bring new solutions to old social problems.
The challenge: Despite the massive resources devoted to addressing social problems here in the United States, progress remains slow and fragmentary. Current resources are not being used efficiently and effectively enough, and no one sector has the resources and the knowledge to tackle today’s social issues alone.
The solution: Leaders from all sectors must work together in a new social impact market that fosters social innovation and enables collaboration across sectors and social issues to distribute resources based on performance.
Within this emerging social impact market:
Since 2004, we have worked across the nonprofit, public, and business sectors to provide leaders from all sectors with the skills and information they need to bring twenty-first century solutions to old social problems.
We pursue our work through four initiatives: Consulting, Social Impact Research, Social Innovation Forum, and Public Innovators
