本文利用社会转型框架探讨基金会与中介机构合作支持社会创新的方式，以实现广泛的制度变革。它考察了加拿大基金会将与中介组织的伙伴关系纳入其慈善投资战略的努力，旨在在三个连续的规模上产生社会创新。研究结果表明，在不同的尺度上，社会创新过程和基础-中介关系呈现出不同的模式。这些差异可以通过不同程度的协调和学习机会，以及不同规模的中介组织类型来解释。最成功的社会创新过程发生在中介机构拥有自己的内部资源，并且倡议集中于转变宏观尺度要素的时候。随着慈善基金成为支持社会创新的重要来源，这些经验教训对于那些有兴趣确保社会投资建立有效应对社会挑战的能力的人来说至关重要。
Abstract This paper uses the social transitions framework to explore the ways in which foundations may partner with intermediaries to support social innovation for broad system change. It examines the efforts of a Canadian foundation to incorporate partnerships with intermediary organizations into its philanthropic investment strategy aimed at generating social innovation at three successive scales. The results demonstrate different patterns in the social innovation processes and in the foundation-intermediary relationships at each scale. These differences are explained by altered degrees of coordination and opportunities for learning, and by the types of intermediary organizations engaged at each scale. The most successful social innovation processes occurred when intermediaries had their own internal resources and when the initiative focused on transforming macro scale elements. As philanthropic funding becomes an important source of support for social innovation, these lessons are critical for those interested in ensuring that social investments build the capacity to respond effectively to societal challenges.
