December 2008: Financing the Good

Tonight’s forum will ask: How do we help launch and maintain good ideas?
We're all working hard to make a difference, why should it be extra hard? The charity model of being able to do good only when someone provides you with the means is not effective or sustainable. Ther emust be better ways of developing partnerships, building strong supporters, and designing new income streams to maintain the good work. Tonight we explore new ideas for sustaining the good.
