I would like to see more partnerships between the two for sure.

Just out of curiosity - if there was an event in September that gave businesses an opportunity to explore networking and partnering with the non-profit community - would anybody here be interested?

My Eco Lamp is excited to share that we are now in the process of also helping with the recycling of e-waste.

Hello All,
I am always interested in helping others. This is really my passion. Putting food on the table is my primary focus; however, it is really a challenge when you intinctively enjoy helping and giving. I will not run down the many ways that I help the community, but will mention that my company sponsors a youth leadership academy that focuses on creating leaders in the community, leading others and self. I am anticipating the next group being sponsored by the Boys and Girls Club. In working with teenagers I know the importance of community; therefore, I am always open to ideas and partners.

Hi all. What a wonderful group of dedicated, caring and talented people. It's nice to be a part of this.

I do a lot of graphic design work for local non-profits (including The Women's Center in Chapel Hill and UNC Lineberger Cancer Research Center's Beach Ball). Eventually I would like to create a virtual agency, Communications for a Cause, to help non-profits (especially those without budgets for communications) reach their clients and donors through effective visual communications, branding and marketing.

I have worked with Chapel-Hill Carrboro YMCA who are planning to build a Youth Center for teens and have more recently developing a marketing plan for thegreenstandard.org who coach various design manufacturers on how to make their products more sustainable ... wishing all great success in their endeavors.

I am glad to be a part of this group! I am working with a non-profit foundation called Star Foundation (http://star-foundation.org), located in Durham. that works with underprivileged kids and provides mentoring services, summer camp and other programs. I see there is a non-profit directory below and I will check that out - thanks Schelli! :)

I also work with a natural nutrition company, Shaklee, one of the oldest direct selling companies and admire their socially responsible stand on the products they produce - the best of science and nature. See my site at www.bestlifepossible.com for more details.

I look forward to learning more with you guys about being a social entrepreneur! :)

Hi folks. I'm new to inside919, and I'm curious if anyone here attends the Social Entrepreneurship Meetup in Chapel Hill that's hosted by Ryan Allis. It's this Thursday, April 16th at 8:00pm and I'm thinking about going, so if anyone here is planning to attend, it would be great to meet. Do a search on "Social Entrepreneurship MeetUp" to get the details. They are also on Facebook. Enjoy!
