Stanford Social Innovation Review (SSIR) is a magazine and website that covers cross-sector solutions to global problems. SSIR is written by and for social change leaders from around the world and from all sectors of society—nonprofits, foundations, business, government, and engaged citizens. SSIR's mission is to advance, educate, and inspire the field of social innovation by seeking out, cultivating, and disseminating the best in research- and practice-based knowledge. With print and online articles, webinars, conferences, podcasts, and more, SSIR bridges research, theory, and practice on a wide range of topics, including human rights, impact investing, and nonprofit business models. SSIR is published by the Stanford Center on Philanthropy and Civil Society at Stanford University.
The publication was founded in 2003 by the Center for Social Innovation (CSI), a Hewlett Foundation grantee[3] at the Stanford Graduate School of Business. Now, SSIR receives about 2.5 million total unique visitors annually. Outside of the US, the site receives the most traffic from Canada, India, the UK, the Philippines, and Australia.[citation needed]
SSIR frequently publishes in-depth series[4] in partnership with organizations such as the Bridgespan Group, Mission Investors Exchange,[5] BBB's Give.org,[6] Third Sector Capital Partners, and The Communications Network.[7]
