Our Story
Social Innovation Network (SIN) was founded by a collective of passionate changemakers, including thought leaders and sector experts, with the shared vision of making social impact more accessible, achievable, and transformative. Built on the values of integrity, respect, reciprocity, and professionalism, these principles shape every facet of our work as we champion the growth of social enterprises committed to social justice, equity, and environmental sustainability.
​
What began as a humble collaboration among a few like-minded friends in Melbourne, Australia, has evolved into a thriving community of thousands, with national recognition and global aspirations. Our mission is to support organisations at every stage of development, providing tailored resources, learning opportunities, and guidance to help them navigate the challenges of the social enterprise sector.
​
At our core, we are bridge builders—connecting sectors, cultures, and communities to foster innovation and leadership for a more equitable and sustainable future. As we continue to grow, we are now focused on mobilising capital and uniting impact ecosystems around the world. Our story is being written in real-time, shaped by the unique purpose of every individual who joins us in this collective journey of impact.
Our Virtues
Everything we do, we do with the lens of improving humanity and earth. We are ever evolving our mission and striving to evolve personally and professionally to be of increased value to our communities.
Collaboration for Purpose-Driven Change
We are here to challenge the status quo of social impact, setting a new standard for collaboration that empowers the changemakers who envision a more sustainable future. Our mission is to equip purpose-driven individuals with the skills, resources, and capital they need to grow and scale their impact.
​
Every sector holds a vital piece of the puzzle, and together, we can connect the dots to create meaningful change. Join us in building a powerful network of changemakers dedicated to shaping a more equitable and sustainable world. Let’s grow, together.

Impact Measurement
At the Social Innovation Network, we understand that measuring social impact is essential for organisations committed to creating meaningful and lasting change. By capturing the depth and breadth of your work, we help ensure that your organisation can clearly communicate its successes, learn from its challenges, and refine strategies to amplify its impact. Our impact measurement services are designed to equip mission-driven organisations with the data and insights they need to not only tell their impact story but also optimise their operations and strategic decision-making.
