Читать книгу The Mission-Driven Venture - Lane Marc J. - Страница 14

This book was written for those who, like Juma Ventures', Homeboy Industries', and WorkSquares' champions, have enthusiastically signed on to the new social compact – entrepreneurs; socially conscious individuals; thought leaders; impact investors; and non-profit, social enterprise, and foundation managers who are passionately committed to social innovation and positive social change. It will offer actionable guidance about business models and entity choices available to the social entrepreneur, governance issues that can arise when mission and profit objectives clash, funding challenges and solutions, tax advantages and traps, entrepreneurial linkages between non-profits and for-profits, certification opportunities, and the measurement of social outcomes. We hope that the real-life case studies we report will inspire you to become the agent of change you were destined to become, to face down the most daunting of social problems that plague society, and to empower the disenfranchised whose lives you never imagined you'd change forever.
