Designing visual communication that "comments" on social matters, is something that the global design comminity is on for some years now.

Not design, but ... :D

most if not all graphic design is essentially a social concept. Mass communication, propaganda, and persuasion.

Definition seems rather vague. Most graphic design has some kind of social application.

You can start by looking through folios of agencies you know work for non-profits.

I think you need to broaden your research scope from strictly design to the larger concept of social marketing, and narrow down what it is you're actually looking for, in terms of questions you want answered. Design is just one component of marketing, social or otherwise, and it fits hand-in-glove with an over-arching communication concept.
A quick look at the social marketing entry on Wikipedia yields these external links:

guzfox,
a colleague of mine is very actively involved in Project M Lab, http://www.projectmlab.com/ , which is essentially using design thinking and graphic design to promote social welfare and change.
