**********************************
NEW PROFIT INC. is a nonprofit venture philanthropy firm
committed to both the practice of venture philanthropy and the evolution of a
new market for social change. Their goal, to affect large-scale social
change by applying venture capital practices to philanthropy is twofold.
First, NPI operates a performance-based fund invested in proven nonprofit
organizations. The other goal is the development of a community of
like-minded people committed to the exploration and definition of a
new market that invests in social enterprise. NPI believe that this dual
strategy, which has worked so well in the private sector, will result
in higher social impact.
"Social entrepreneurs will lead change as politicians led change in
the 1960s, but it's a different kind of revolution. Its not a revolt in
the streets; its institution building"
- Vanessa Kirsch, Founder of New Profit Inc.
