The Innovation Funders Network, a network of funders who seek to strengthen nonprofits and improve the lives of people worldwide through the innovative use of information and communication technology, will hold its 2006 summit January 30–31, 2006, in San Francisco.

The theme is Networks, Innovation and Social Change.

Attendees will learn from funders and nonprofits who have innovative ways of carrying out their social missions and explore emerging ideas and opportunities that should be on every funder’s radar, such as social entrepreneurship, collaboration, network-based grantmaking and online organizing.

Keynote speakers will be Lawrence Lessig, author, legal scholar and founder of Creative Commons; and Howard Rheingold, author of Smart Mobs. Victor d'Allant, executive director of Social Edge, will also be a speaker
