SOCIAL INNOVATION FUND (SIF)
A non-governmental organisation, established in Lithuania in 1994 as a charity and support foundation to assist people with fewer opportunities and disadvantaged backgrounds to make
positive changes in their life through the provision of educational opportunities, social support, information and advice.
MISSION
To ensure gender equality and equal opportunities for all through social innovations and education.
"Just as a sea starts with the small drops of water, big work starts with the impulse. The shared expertise and support of the foreign countries as well their willingness to help Lithuania are the core elements of the Social Innovation Fund’s establishment and its successful development.
I thank the fortune for being given an opportunity to start and develop this organisation and with all my heart I wish it the strength, wisdom, creativity, and success in its work for the benefit of people. I take the opportunity to express my sincere appreciation to the Fund’s founders, partners and sponsors for their support to innovations and provided possibilities for their implementation. Also, I express my gratitude to the Fund’s staff for its professional and conscientious work and dedication, and to the volunteers- for their kind-hearted and selfless assistance."

the initiator and one of the founders of the SIF and its Managing Director since 1994.
