Important results from the project
** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** The project has sought to combine the strengths of non-profit associations and social enterprises to accelerate social change in a financially sustainable way through hybrid organizing. The project has created 1) concrete proposals for organizational models, 2) identified and validated flaws in the system, 3) a research report on the subject, and 4) with executive actors a proposal for a plan going forward for how Vinnova can reduce the risk of private money going to the social.
Expected long term effects
** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** The hypothesis that hybrid organization has potential to increase long-term funding for social innovation is confirmed, as well as enabling collaboration across sector boundaries. Organizational maps have been created for Changers Hub & Värmeverket as well as a research report on the subject. Through interviews, analysis and cross-sectoral conversations, six root causes have been identified for the lack of long-term funding in social innovation. The work has been published by Impact Loop, Fastighetstidningen and in podcasts and conferences.
