Financial Mail - Passion and profit

Financial Mail - Passion and profit: "Venture philanthropists, boards of directors, non profit organisations, donor agencies, consultants and academics are becoming increasingly interested in the field of social entrepreneurship.

The establishment of the Skoll centre for social entrepreneurship at Oxford University, created by former eBay president Jeff Skoll, and more recently Warren Buffett's US$30,7bn donation to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, indicate that venture philanthropy means a significant change in how people think about transferring wealth."
