Social Innovation Fund Takes Questions at Town Hall

CNCS Staff

Last week, the Social Innovation Fund (@SIFund) held a live town hall on Twitter to hear from and give feedback to organizations applying for the 2014 SIF NOFA. Director Michael Smith and other members of the SIF team were able to answer several twitter users’ questions about eligibility requirements, match restrictions, program design, funding priorities, subgranting, knowledge sharing, evaluation standards, and application requirements.

We thank our co-hosts for the event, the Case Foundation (@CaseFoundation) and the Stanford Social Innovation Review (@SSIReview), for helping promote and cross-post the town hall and our 2014 NOFA, which closes this Tuesday, April 22, at 5 pm Eastern. They are leaders in the social innovation and impact space, and were crucial in making it a success. Thank you!
