ABOUT BALTIMORE SOCIAL INNOVATION AWARDS
In recognition of this achievement, The Baltimore Social Enterprise Alliance is pleased to announce the Inaugural Baltimore Social Innovation Awards - driven by the belief that the potential for good ideas and their ability to inspire more good ideas cannot be underestimated. These awards inspire leaders and organizations to dream, create spaces for leaders to tap into their own creativity to innovate, endow leaders with the tools and knowledge to launch and grow their ideas, challenge leaders to become better versions of themselves, and transform leaders and their organizations into Changemakers.
The theme of the Awards, "Achieving a More Socially Responsible and Equitable Society," recognizes organic leadership re-envisioning the challenges communities face and finding solutions, allowing pioneering ideas to reshape communities through innovative programs, policies, and disrupting the political landscape to revolutionize realities to bring us all forward to a more equitable and inclusive tomorrow -- today.
The Baltimore Social Innovation Awards symbolize the success of the social sector, which depends upon our embracing both tried-and-true traditional practices while stepping out of the box to grow ground-breaking ideas into new innovative practices.
