Embracing Complexity
and Taking Action

Taking on the Challenge of System Change for a Shared Society

“Impact” signals our commitment to the future.

We believe in initiating action to build a base for a society where resolutions of social problems and the creation of diverse value take place autonomously and sustainably. This is realized through our unique positionality and perspective as a foundation in this field, which allows us to work with a diverse array of players and stakeholders such as companies, local governments, NPOs, educational institutions, and research organizations. By leveraging our unique position as a foundation, we propose and execute numerous plans to provide assistance aimed at realizing an ecosystem for the circulation of social and economic resources that transcends the conventional frameworks of self-help, public help and mutual help.

ABOUT US

At the Social Innovation and Investment Foundation, we direct our activities towards realizing an ecosystem for social and economic resources that transcends the conventional frameworks of self-help, public help and mutual help.

To build the foundations for a society in which the resolution of social problems and the creation of diverse values take place autonomously and sustainably

The goal of SIIF is an inclusive society where the dreams of both individuals and communities are realized. We believe this happens when individuals and communities continually and actively seek, choose and create a society.

To build an ecosystem for the circulation of social and economic resources that transcends the framework of self-help, public help and mutual help

Self-help centered on the market economy. Public assistance based on a centralized system of redistribution. Mutual help and reciprocal aid, which are forms of interdependence. SIIF aims to build a new model for the circulation of resources such as funds, people, and knowledge that transcends these frameworks, and to present diverse benchmarks for measuring the value of social outcomes.

To achieve this goal, SIIF will implement strategies developed around three themes:

Impact Review

We have published the 2023 Impact Review, which reviews our activities over the past five years starting from our days as the Foundation for Social Investment. This report extracts what we have learned through our activities, and presents our current mid-term strategy.
