Fast Company: 2008 Social Capitalist Award

43 entrepreneurs who are changing the world

Change the world. Make some money. It's an appealing prospect. Nonprofits were born because for-profits weren't addressing some market failures–pollution, poverty, illiteracy. Profit won't cure those ills, but it's becoming a bigger part of more solutions. Below you will find the organizations that are granted the Fast Company/Monitor Group Social Capitalist Award. Along with the 45 world-changing nonprofits, we also honor ten companies not only striving to make a profit, but to also make a difference.

Besides the features of our December/January 2008 issue, you will also find expanded profiles, web exclusive interviews, additional features, and interactive slideshows that present the Social Capitalists in a concise and lively way. The world of social entrepreneurship is a wonderful one – go experience it. And you may want to keep an eye out for that donate button.
