Social Entrepreneurship Reloaded: Running a Nonprofit in the 21st Century

A prophecy (1995)? As the market economy and public sector decline, Rifkin predicted the growth of a third sector—voluntary and community-based service organizations—that would create new jobs with government support to rebuild decaying neighborhoods and provide social services. To finance this enterprise, he advocated scaling down the military budget, enacting a value added tax on nonessential goods and services and redirecting federal and state funds to provide a "social wage“ in lieu of welfare payments to third-sector workers.

Philanthropy etymologically means "love of humanity" in the sense of caring for, nourishing, developing, enhancing, what it is to be human. The word was first coined as an adjective, by Aeschylus in Prometheus Bound (line 11, 460 BCE), to describe Prometheus' character as "humanity-loving" (philanthropos tropos), for having given to the earliest proto-humans, who had no culture, fire (symbolizing all the arts—civilization) and "blind hope"(optimism). The philanthropy is marked at its early stages by the Sponsors who as more wealthy give to the ones in need within the society and contribute to their development mainly in cultural terms.

•  The voluntary sector or community sector (also non-profit

sector or "not-for-profit" sector) is the sphere of social activity undertaken by organizations that are not for profit and non-governmental. This sector is also called the third sector, in reference to the public sector and the private sector. Civic sector is another term for the sector, emphasizing the sector's relationship to civil society.

•  Social Enterprises, within the social sector or social economy , are often undertakings & ventures (sometimes with the help of sponsors) for employing social workers and making organisation and offered services more efficient.

Nonprofits, NGOs & Charity Foundations A nonprofit organization (US and UK) or not-for-profit organization (UK and others), often called an NPO or simply a nonprofit. Also, non-commercial organization (Russia and CIS), often called an NCO, is an organization that uses economic to achieve its goals rather than distributing them as profit or dividends. Non-governmental organization (NGO) are legally constituted organizations created by natural or legal people that operate independently from any form of government. In the cases in which NGOs are funded totally or partially by governments, the NGO maintains its non-governmental status by excluding government representatives from membership in the organization. NGOs are difficult to define and classify, and the term 'NGO' is not used consistently. As a result, there are many different classifications in use. A foundation (also a charitable foundation) is a legal categorization of nonprofit organizations that will typically either donate funds and support to other organizations, or provide the source of funding for its own charitable purposes. .
