SOCIAL CHANGE INNOVATORS

 

NEW AMERICA FOUNDATION

Described by The Washington Post as "the think tank for Generation Next: a hot and hip collection of young, media-savvy scholars who are trying to reinvent the way Washington thinks," The New America Foundation is becoming what Esquire Magazine dubs "the only think tank that matters." As an independent, nonpartisan, nonprofit, public policy institute, the foundation awards up to twenty policy fellowships each year to individuals who have powerful ideas for moving public thinking into new terrain. The Hollywood Hill supports many of these policy ideas, crafting campaigns and working with the foundation, and public and private sector to move them forward. www.newamerica.net

WORLDCHANGING.COM

Co-Founded by Alex Steffen and Jamais Cascio, WorldChanging.com works from a simple premise: that the tools, models and ideas for building a better future lie all around us. That plenty of people are working on tools for change, but the fields in which they work remain unconnected. That the motive, means and opportunity for profound positive change are already present. That another world is not just possible, it's here. We only need to put the pieces together. Informed by that premise, WorldChanging works to bring you links to (and analysis of) those tools, models and ideas in a timely and concise manner. They pay special attention to tools, ideas adn models that may have been overlooked in the mass media. And they make a point of showing ways in which seemingly unconnected resources link together to form a toolkit for changing the world. The Hollywood Hill assists WorldChanging in the development of media and social policy projects. www.worldchanging.com
