Introduction
The Social Innovation Fund is a non-governmental technology and research fund. It is responsible for financing, venture capital, financial support, and financial facilitation for socially innovative ideas. This fund aims to facilitate collaboration between the public and private sectors in the social sector.
The Fund was established to aid in the development and promotion of institutions and organizations in the social field in order to address social issues. This fund's mission is to support the expansion of research and innovative social activities, as well as the development of technologies that facilitate the resolution of social problems. Due to the lack of such a fund and also the lack of financial assistance from institutions working in the social field, the development of non-governmental organizations' participation in the social field has been extremely limited and poorly organized. Not only does the participation of the fund in the social activities of institutions make their activities more systematic, but it also increases the effectiveness of such institutions' social activities.
