Think Social

Think Social

ThinkSocial is a new non-profit initiative dedicated to advancing the use of social media in the public interest. The project is supported by The Paley Center for Media and is initially funded by the Surdna Foundation.     

Our mission is to connect people and ideas to advance the use of social media to address society’s most pressing challenges. 

We believe in the power of sharing and example. We want the early innovators and practitioners of social media to share their initiatives, ideas and inspiration with a wider community of people and institutions seeking to create change. Therefore, our strategy is to create initiatives that address the current problems by:     

• Empowering people to share their stories and ideas so that others may benefit from collective activism    
• Recognizing and highlight the most important and innovative uses of social media in the public interest
• Facilitating interactions between technology, business and public leaders to deepen knowledge and to inspire the creation of new platforms and applications
