Crowdfunding for Changemakers

Goodwill goes a long way to improving economic self-sufficiency for all. But we can’t do it just on love and fresh air. In recent years, the role of social enterprise has impacted the planet. With growing interest and attention from investors, consumers, universities, media and policymakers, the “impact investing” and “conscious consumerism” are reflective of social enterprise’s development as a field. So are the growing number of university courses coupled with the attention from traditional and online mainstream media. Even government support has grown worldwide for a universal basic income. Social enterprise is not a silver bullet, but together with crowdfunding, it is a promising approach to fulfilling unmet needs and fostering genuinely “triple-bottom-line” organizations. It’s certainly not the only solution, but it is most definitely a solution to help teach others “how to fish sustainably”.
