Definitions - Social Entrepreneur / Enterprise / Venture Philanthropy
Social enterprise makes a difference by matching supply with need.
by Dr Meena Galliara - Narsee Monjee Institute of Management & Higher Studies (NMIMS)
Social enterprise is profitable business run by community, for the community and profit & loss must be shared to community.
by Prema Gopalan - Swayam Shikshan Prayog (SSP)
Social enterprise is a for-profit entity setup with a mission to solve a social problem with a clear business and revenue model around the solution. A person who starts a social enterprise is a Social Entrepreneur.
by Surya Prakash Loonker - CATALYST - Social Development Consultants P Ltd (CSDC)
Venture Philanthropy is venture capital investments in social enterprises.
by Surya Prakash Loonker - CATALYST - Social Development Consultants P Ltd (CSDC)
Venture Philanthropy is an adventurous approach to funding unpopular social causes.
by John D Rockefeller III in 1969 in a hearing before the US congressional committee leading to the Tax Reform Act
Social Enterprise
GoodTree is not a charity. GoodTree is a Social Enterprise that seeks to do well in business AND do good for the world. Using the words of author J. Gregory Dees, we aspire to combine "the passion of a social mission with business-like discipline, innovation, and determination." We maintain the balance between social mission and business goals by creating self-sustaining companies made up of people who truly care, and by developing businesses that tap into a spirit of virtuous circles where everyone wins.

Until today, the network includes 95 social entrepreneurs around the world. In each country one “Social Entrepreneur of the Year” is selected and celebrated. The Schwab Foundation chooses social entrepreneurs who have already established their venture, proven their business model and are on the verge of proliferating their vision.
Project
The Foundation will establish jointly with the Schwab Foundation a high-profile selection committee, who will select the “Social Entrepreneur of the Year in India”. The Foundation and the Schwab Foundation will jointly host a high profile national award ceremony at or close to the World Economic Forum - India Economic Summit (at the end of November) to honour the winner, who will be named the “Social Entrepreneur of the Year” and the finalists. Last year the winner was awarded by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
