Social Enterpreneurship
http://socialentrepreneurship2007.blogspot.co…
Social entrepreneurship is the work of a social entrepreneur. A social entrepreneur is someone who recognizes a social problem and uses entrepreneurial principles to organize, create, and manage a venture to make social change.
Whereas business entrepreneurs typically measure performance in profit and return, social entrepreneurs assess their success in terms of the impact they have on society.

no commercials on my site!!
After having read "Creating a World without Poverty" by Nobel Peace Prize winner Muhammad Yunus, I have committed myself to promote and facilitate the incubation and growth of 'social businesses'.
Dr. Yunus defines them as 'non-loss' and 'non-dividend' which means limiting investors to being paid for their contributions after having been paid. They must not take profits out of the company but let companies grow from their profits.
This is an interesting '3rd way' between 'capital as usual' and charitable philanthropy. And it effects taxation and other rules and regulation.
