Bay Area Social Entrepreneurs Talk Funding

Bay Area nonprofit leaders sounded pretty optimistic and focused on growth at a breakfast gathering last week, entitled "Conversations with Social Entrepreneurs: 2010 and Beyond," sponsored by Commongood Careers and Building Movement Project. At the beginning of the three-hour gathering at a downtown hotel, James Weinberg, founder and CEO of Commongood Careers, had the group of about 50 give a two-word description of how they were feeling. Attendees, who were mostly from education and youth development nonprofits, shouted out adjectives along the lines of "cautiously optimistic," "growing," "opportunities ahead," and "pumped!" The spirit in the room was energetic.Original Source: Bay Area Social Entrepreneurs Talk Funding
