Building the Next Action Agenda

ABOUT Building the Next Action Agenda

In 2010, Gathering participants came together again—building on the initial success of the action agenda created in 2005—to explore the next generation of ideas and opportunities for social entrepreneurship and social innovation. This map represents the live brainstorm among participants of specific initiatives that could drive broad-scale change in policy, capital markets, and the nonprofit and philanthropic arenas. In the coming years, the Gathering community will work with a broader network of colleagues, partners, and champions to drive forward this action agenda and move us toward the next horizon of social innovation.
