Recognizing that some of the best ideas to solve social challenges come from the communities in which those challenges persist\, Impact@Anderson believes social innovation and entrepreneurship must bridge the gap between community and classroom. \nAbout The SAM Initiative \nFounded in 2013 by Mindy Freedman\, the SAM Initiative is a group of individuals who have pooled their financial resources and experience to fund and support exceptional and innovative programs in Los Angeles that promote social change and benefit women\, children and families. The SAM Initiative was founded on the belief that we have more impact together than we have alone. Together\, we strive to educate and engage donors by investing in community-based organizations that reflect our passions and address the most pressing needs in our community. \nAbout Impactathon® \nInnov8social partners with mission-driven companies\, institutions\, and foundations to bring together individuals together for Impactathons\, interactive social impact events that catalyze collaboration\, innovation\, working in teams\, and pitching social impact solutions for feedback and potential recognition. \nImpactathon has partnered to deliver 10 Impactathons in cities including San Francisco\, New York City\, Aliso Viejo\, Palo Alto\, Los Angeles\, Baton Rouge. \nPhotography and filming \nPlease note that by purchasing a ticket\, you acknowledge and agree to being photographed and filmed. \nFinancial Aid \nPlease email info@innov8social.com in case in need of financial support.
