this past weekend, causeway co-sponsored the 48hour launch social innovation track with chattanooga stand.  social innovation teams worked furiously over the 48-hour period to launch ideas that will impact our local community.

like the dozens of entrepreneurial ventures launching technology, product and social innovations off the ground, causeway had the opportunity to test out our own beta platform leading up to the event.  many of the social innovation teams posted their causes to the site and began rallying the support they needed - whether it was specific expertise, volunteer hours, materials or monetary donations.  these causes will continue to be listed on causeway.org, and we'll be tracking support along the way.

the causes from 48hour launch are listed below.  we encourage you to check out these causes and the “ways” or plans associated with them.  if you see a cause you’re interested in, contribute however you see fit.
