Conversations with Social Entrepreneurs


The societal, economic, and political landscape looks very different in 2010 from that which existed just a few years ago. Faced with a range of new realities, social entrepreneurs feel that they are approaching an "inflection point," or a moment of dramatic change for their organizations and movement. Despite diminished resources, social entrepreneurs are now working to grow in entirely new ways and at faster rates than ever before.

 

To explore how social entrepreneurs are navigating through this dynamic period, Commongood Careers and the Building Movement Project convened "Conversations with Social Entrepreneurs."  This effort included an electronic survey study and a series of regional gatherings in four cities with a group of 200 leaders from innovative nonprofits.


The conversations revealed three prominent themes, as discussed in the full report.
