Untapped Potential
Focusing Philanthropic Investment to Leverage the Reach and Social Mission of Public Institutions to Test and Scale Innovative Ideas
Abstract
Public institutions may not be likely incubators of innovation, but they have incredible potential to become flywheels for it under the right conditions. At Chicago Public Library (CPL), we have learned that reshaping public institutions into nimble, social innovation leaders requires thoughtful collaboration and support from the public and private sectors. An example of this collaboration is our teen program YOUmedia, initially funded by the Chicago-based MacArthur Foundation through the Chicago Public Library Foundation.
