I didn't know about the Stanford Center ... I have added it to my list. Yunus' book is also on my reading list ... haven't gotten to it yet. @Howard, thanks for the comment.

Regarding your statement "…maybe the most successful “company” model is a hybrid between a for-profit and nonprofit," there are a few resources related to "Social Enterprise" that I thought you may want to take a look at. Last Spring I read Mohammad Yunus new book "Creating a World Without Poverty" that discusses the phenomenon and his work with Danone Foods (Dannon, in the U.S.) in France. In addition, if you haven't already heard of it, Stanford has a Center for Social Innovation with a website and magazine called the "Standford Social Innovation Review," http://www.ssireview.org/. With support from Reuters, they also have a Digital Vision Program, rdvp.org/ , which "..provides social entrepreneurs with a creative environment and platform to design and implement innovative and scalable technology-based solutions for untapped markets around the world." If you haven't heard of these I thought you might be interested. Hope all is well, Howard Hi Mark,
