A number of organizations have focused their missions on such work, including the nonprofit Warnock Foundation, which recently released the first edition of its Social Innovation Journal.
The Social Innovation Lab at the Johns Hopkins University, now in its third year as an incubator for socially-minded startups, specifically looks for “solutions that are actually solving problems as the value proposition for each company,” as director Kunal Parikh explained in an interview with CityBizList.
