Does (RED) Hurt Philanthropy?

Douglas Paul — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 11:55:19 -0400

Let me first say that I believe that the (RED) program is great. It has done great things, raised a lot of money and awareness, but I have to ask if it hasn’t done some harm as well.

Philanthropy made easy for small business.

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.

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.

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

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.
