I’m the ED of socialmarkets.org. I think socialmarkets.org combined with our new partners missionmarkets.com are an answer to those questions. We’re actually presenting our a talk about us and our website tomorrow at SoCap08…

“I started this post saying I think SoCap08 gets at the future of philanthropy. I say that because I think the desire to integrate all facets of your life around your core values–including your investment decisions, your professional career, your charitable giving, your consumer habits, your free time, your vacations and so much much more–is beautifully expressed by social entrepreneurs.

And it’s this integrated life that is, to me, the future of philanthropy. If you’re just writing checks to charity, you’re missing the point.

Someday, no one will be a grantmaker but everyone will be a philanthropist.”

Hi Sharon-

Its been almost a year since we met at the Inspired Giving convening in Chicago. I’m glad to see you blogging the future of philanthropy.

David
