Harnessing Collaborative Expertise for Social Impact

Elaine Lum MacDonald is the CEO of the Knowledge Impact Network (KIN). KIN is a platform that connects social ventures with leaders who are willing to share their knowledge to help the ventures tackle specific issues. KIN runs two exchange programs: catalyze sessions and circles. Catalyze sessions are 90-minute workshops where a group of leaders works with a social venture to address a specific issue. Circles are online platforms where social innovators and individuals interested in a specific cause exchange ideas and connections to advance the cause. The goal of KIN is to unlock the power of knowledge as a sustainable asset and use it for social good.
