REDF Box Set — Social Purpose Enterprises and Venture Philanthropy in the New Millennium
The Roberts Enterprise Development Fund and its Portfolio members produced this three volume set to answer three questions. First, practitioners within social purpose enterprises were asked: If you were starting out again, what would you be interested in learning about and what do you wish you had known? (Volume 1: Practitioner Perspectives) Then, REDF staff and partners provided candid answers to the question: What is REDF’s approach to venture philanthropy? (Volume 2: Investor Perspectives) Lastly, Teresa Moore tackled the critical question: Who is the successful social entrepreneur? (Volume 3: Practitioner Profiles)
Note:In the electronic documents you may find that italicized sections are slightly garbled but still legible.
