Overview
The Beeck Center for Social Impact & Innovation at Georgetown University was launched in 2014 to inspire and prepare students, faculty, and global leaders with the necessary skills to generate and innovate solutions-based, transformational, systemic social change worldwide. The Center believes in the need for new approaches to learning, disruptive thought leadership, and solutions-focused convenings. It provides collaborative spaces for fostering innovation and experiential learning opportunities to pragmatically impact the social sector. As a new Center, it has not yet worked out how it will sustain the organization beyond founding philanthropic support so this grant will support development of a business and strategic plan.
