Data Are Transforming Philanthropy and the Social Economy

A GrantCraft publication, Philanthropy and the Social Economy: Blueprint 2013, written by leading philanthropy scholar Lucy Bernholz, captures the changing landscape of what it means to use private resources for the public good. No longer the purview of foundations and nonprofits alone, philanthropy is now defined by an array of increasingly diverse activities, such as impact investing, social businesses, peer networks and crowdfunding. The Blueprint outlines how these and other innovations are transforming the "social economy."
