NEW YORK, NY – Guggenheim Partners is now accepting applications for the third cohort of the Network for Social Innovation (NSI), the firm’s venture philanthropy program designed to identify and support the growth of visionary non-profit organizations tackling some of the most challenging issues of our time.

Through the Network for Social Innovation, Guggenheim Partners invests $100,000 in several high-performing, early-stage, non-profit organizations leveraging innovative solutions to solve enduring social problems. In addition, the firm deploys its “creative capital” — any non-financial contribution that Guggenheim Partners can provide through accessing its employees’ and networks’ specialized skills and resources. Since launching the initiative in 2016, Guggenheim has welcomed ten non-profit organizations into the Network for Social Innovation and looks forward to expanding the cohort before the end of 2020.

“Guggenheim Partners prides itself on its ability to utilize innovative solutions,” said Robert Rutkoff, Head of Corporate Social Responsibility at Guggenheim Partners. “The Network for Social Innovation aims to identify non-profit organizations scaling innovative approaches to support the communities where we work and live. We are excited to continue driving social impact through this important initiative.”

Network for Social Innovation partner and alumni organizations include Drive Change, FreeFrom, Global Health Corps, Hot Bread Kitchen, JustFix.nyc, Moneythink, Pursuit, Sanergy, Sanitation and Health Rights India, and SIRUM.

Interested and eligible non-profit organizations may submit applications online at www.guggenheimpartners.com/NSI. Applications are due by May 29 at 5:00 p.m. ET. Vetting will occur in multiple rounds, and organizations will be selected by year-end.
