Innovation is the courage to rethink what's possible, especially for nonprofits where mission drives invention. It’s about creating practical solutions that “anchor” people’s needs, using data and empathy to improve quickly, and building partnerships that stretch limited resources into wider impact. For nonprofits, innovation is a habit and mindset: try things, learn from failure, and involve the communities served. When it’s guided by mission instead of novelty, innovation expands reach, builds trust, and turns care into “convergence”.
