The Social Innovation Legacy Fund
Established to build on the success of the Social Innovation Fund, this board-established fund supports innovative projects and initiatives aimed at breaking the cycle of generational poverty in Greater Saint John.
The Social Innovation Fund was created by the Province of New Brunswick to experiment, innovate and test new initiatives to help end generational poverty in Saint John. Through the Grantee Partners, significant progress has been made with the implementation of meaningful innovations and many have demonstrated the need for systems and policy changes.
To build on the success of the Social Innovation Fund, the Community Foundation has established the Social Innovation Legacy Fund. The board-established fund will continue to address generational poverty in Greater Saint John by supporting projects, initiatives and activities focused on innovative practices and approaches to address generational poverty in Greater Saint John.
