"When you do the common things in life in an uncommon way, you will command the attention of the world." George Washington CarverWhat is Social Entrepreneurship?Statement of Faith
You can find other "Market with Meaning" but you definitely want to see "Profit with Purpose".
I personally "Believe in Kingdom Transformation" because I know there is only ONE "Life for Significant". --- 2009年12月4日 星期五，Stanford Social Innovation Review (SSIR) <info@ssireview.org> 寫道﹕

 The Stanford Social Innovation Review received two 2009 FOLIO: Magazine Ozzie Awards. The Fall 2008 issue of SSIR received the Silver Ozzie Award for Best Redesign, Association/Nonprofit. The magazine also took home the Bronze Ozzie Award for Best Overall Design, Association/Non-Profit. FOLIO Awards are prestigious honors within the magazine publishing industry, and magazines from all over the country compete for them. Both achievements are significant recognition of the Stanford Social Innovation Review, which, earlier this year, also received a Maggie Award from the Western Publishing Association. FOLIO's annual Eddie & Ozzie Awards recognize excellence in editorial content and magazine design. More than 2,200 entries were submitted in this year's industry competition. Other Ozzie Award winners this year included Time, Fortune, and Harper's Bazaar.

Endowment for a Rainy Day
By Burton A. Weisbrod & Evelyn D. Asch
 Judging from media accounts, U.S. nonprofits are facing unprecedented, if not catastrophic, financial distress because of endowment losses.

By the time I'm done, I know she's making that sentimental Grama face that says she's happy and about to cry. I ask her how she's doing, and I actually listen—no matter what I'm doing, no matter how many deadlines I'm sitting on. This is my way of expressing gratitude to my grandmother. This is how I tell her "thank you." >>Continue reading this post |  Give the gift of social change!
