At ”la Caixa” Foundation we believe that social innovation should be measured by its potential to transform and the capacity of organisations to improve society's problems, aiming to empower beneficiaries by creating synergies between organisations and encouraging them to engage with the community. Another variable we believe defines social innovation is the fact that the initiatives promoted by such organisations can be rolled out to other areas.
Consequently, as part of the Programme of Subsidies for Social Initiative Projects, we promote the ”la Caixa” Foundation Awards for Social Innovation in order to support the important work carried out by social organisations that offer innovative solutions to the challenges facing society today.
