The Social Innovation Fund represents a strategic partnership with the Province of New Brunswick to experiment, innovate and test new initiatives based on sound evidence to help end a lifetime of poverty for our children. Living SJ is New Brunswick’s living lab to end generational poverty that builds the essential social foundations – education, health, employment, and citizen engagement – for economic growth. Collective impact is the framework to achieve Living SJ’s vision.
Purpose of the Social Innovation Fund:

  1. Nurture new ideas that support Living SJ’s targets;
  2. Scale programs that are already working in our community; and
  3. Co-create new policies, services and programs with government based on those results that achieve greater impact and a significant return on investment.

The Social Innovation Fund has a continuous intake process. There is no application deadline.
