Philanthropy made easy for small business.

Nathan Bagby — Mon, 26 May 2008 19:49:03 -0400

I recently read an article on philanthropy.com written by Nicole Wallace that had some exciting news in it for small business owners that would like to let their customers know about their philanthropic giving, while really impacting their fellow entrepreneurs in developing nations. Advanta, "one of the largest credit card issuers in the small business market." has partnered with a very interesting organization by the name of Kiva. Briefly, Kiva is a charity based out of San Francisco that connects investors with entrepreneurs in developing countries.

Going Green is Here to Stay

Energy independence, global warming and the negative effects of "business as usual" on our environment are driving consumers, investors, and business owners to the multi-trillion dollar "Going Green" movement. More than just a trend, going green is here to stay. Move over blue collar and white collar, "green collar" is moving on up!

Social Entrepreneurs, Doing the Greatest Good.

Nathan Bagby — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 08:25:12 -0400

The word entrepreneur means, in French, "one who takes into hand". Social entrepreneurs are in my opinion the worlds greatest creative problem solvers because of this basic concept of taking into hand the issues of the day. Entrepreneurs by and large are known for their courage of wading into the mainstream and affecting change, social entrepreneurs do this to benefit humanity.

Buy Local

Nathan Bagby — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 00:14:09 -0400

The "buy local" movement has taken huge strides lately in getting into the "popular culture", and good thing too! Rising oil prices, urban sprawl, and global warming all factor in to the equation of why we need a new system. The system seen on most grocery shelves in our nation is not sustainable. The carbon foot print is high, fair trade practices are rarely followed, and we hurt our small farmers by subsidizing with government handouts, a huge waist!

The focus of this group is on the rise of small business and entrepreneurs and the benefits they provide to the global economy. From local living economies that ensure the long-term economic viability of communities, to social entrepreneurs that seek to change the world, small businesses and entrepreneurs are making a difference. Post comments, ask questions, get involved.

Hi!

Thanks for checking out my profile. I've been visiting FastCompany.com for a while now and really enjoy the stimulating conversation found here.

So, who am I? A world citizen, a thinker, a dancer, a cook, a movie buff, a friend, a member of a close-nit family, and a marketer. I enjoy comparing cultures and communication styles throughout the world as I see how other people live and think.
