ASIT is a benevolent, sector-neutral collaborator & facilitator.

We co-create, enable & amplify social innovation, collective impact & social investment initiatives. We collaborate to create sustainable positive social impact for vulnerable communities, to break the cycle of disadvantage. We operate on the philosophy that what we achieve together is greater than what any individual or organisation can achieve alone. We work with government, non-government, philanthropists, & business with a genuine commitment to social change & economic return. SERVICES Leading-edge services & expertise across 3 business streams to value-matched organisations: 1. Amplifying Social Impact: Directly supporting organisations, initiatives & programs to establish & amplify their purpose, social impact & economic return. 2. SI-3 - Social Innovation, Impact & Investment: Partner with decision-markers, beneficiaries & influences to co-deliver social innovation, investment initiatives and systems change. 3. Collective Impact: Facilitate long-term, cross sector collaboration for place-based, whole-of-community collective impact initiatives. Our major initiative, 'Our-Place' is supported by ASIT in partnership with local cross-sector government agencies & non-government organisations. IT'S OUR PLACE Our Place is operational in the NSW Illawarra Shoalhaven region, commencing in Bellambi in 2015. Our Place takes a unique approach to traditional collective impact implementation, enabling genuine collaboration & social innovation to break the cycle of disadvantage. Community members (individuals, business, government & non-government) are brought together to tackle complex social issues locally. Critically, this happens beyond silos and outside political, administrative & funding cycles. www.itsourplace.org.au
