Social Impact Innovation Alliance (SIIA)

The Social Impact Innovation Alliance (SIIA) is a network of organizations working to create positive social, environmental, and economic change through innovation. Convened by Kambria as part of the Kambria Open Innovation Network (OIN), SIIA brings together organizations that are actively creating impact in their communities.

We believe that meaningful impact grows through collaboration. By connecting organizations across sectors and regions, SIIA offers a network where organizations can grow and create greater impact together. SIIA Members can:

• Learn from each other
• Share opportunities, new partnerships, practical insights across their communities
• Find new channels to scale their impact, including Kambria programs such as the DAO Experimentation Program (DEP) and the Capacity Exchange DAO (CED)

Shared Values

Member organizations share 4 core values:

1. Social Impact Innovation: A clear mission to create positive change through innovation, addressing real social, environmental, or economic challenges in people's lives.
2. Ethical Practices: Ethical standards, and responsible, inclusive use of technology.
3. Scalability and Sustainability: A perspective on how to grow their impact and sustain their work over the long term.
4. Collaboration and Partnerships: Willingness to work with like-minded organizations and take an active part in the Alliance community.

What SIIA Members Get

• Peer exchange: Present your work, discuss current challenges, and receive constructive feedback, ideas, and potential solutions from other members.
• Shared opportunities: Calls from Kambria programs and from other SIIA members, such as partnerships, volunteer needs, and program openings, delivered in one place.
