Walking is a fairly complicated affair! Hardly does one ever consider how complex taking one step is until one watches a child take her first steps. As it turns out, the art of walking, taking more than one step while remaining upright requires that one foot is forever implanted on the ground, keeping us grounded in the familiar, while the other takes a leap, into the unknown, all the while maintaining balance to keep upright! For End Child Poverty, this last year presents precisely such endeavor, taking accelerated steps, pushing our boundaries and comfort zones while making sure to remain grounded and focused on our founding objective to end child poverty.

  • Four Revolutions in Global Philanthropy Maximilian Martin
    Four Revolutions in Global Philanthropy Maximilian Martin Working Papers Vol. 1 Martin, Maximilian. 2011. ³Four Revolutions in Global Philanthropy´Impact Economy Working Paper, Vol.1 Table of Contents Philanthropy is currently undergoing four revolutions in parallel. This paper identifies and analyzes the four main fault lines which will influence the next decades of global philanthropy. All are related to what we can refer to as the market revolution in global philanthropy. As global philanthropy moves beyond grantmaking, into investment approaches that produce a social as well as a financial return, this accelerates the mainstreaming of a variety of niche activities. They marry effectiveness, social impact, and market mechanisms. 1. Global Philanthropy: A Field in Transition ............................................................................... 3 2.

  • A Film by Jeremy Gilley (2008)
    UNRIC Brussels would like to welcome you to a Special Edition of CINE ONU celebrating UN Day A film by Jeremy Gilley (2008) Synopsis Jeremy Gilley was an actor before he founded Peace One Day in 1999. He had become disillusioned with his work, but understood the potential of film to positively affect people and create change in the world. So when he set out on his near impossible mission in 1999, he took a camera with him. Every journey made, every country visited and every person met – he got it all on camera. Ten years on, The Day After Peace is his story – the story of Peace One Day. © PeaceOneDay The Day After Peace charts the remarkable 10- year journey of award-winning filmmaker Jeremy Gilley to establish an annual Peace Day on 21 September. The camera follows Jeremy as he galvanises the countries of the world to recognise an official day of ceasefire and non-violence. But even after the member states of the UN unanimously adopt Peace Day, the struggle isn’t over. As the years pass, there’s not a single ceasefire. The voices of the cynics are growing louder, but Jeremy can’t let it fail. The film’s breathtaking conclusion finds Gilley joined by Jude Law in Afghanistan attempting to spearhead a massive vaccination against polio on Peace Day. Will peace prevail? Will lives be saved? Or were the cynics right? The Day After Peace is a moving testament to the power of the individual and the perseverance of the human spirit. "We must make every effort for the promotion of peace and inner values.

  • Front Matter
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-51236-8 — Foresight Edited by Lawrence W. Sherman , David Allan Feller Frontmatter More Information FORESIGHT How do attempts to foresee the future actually change it? For thousands of years, humans have called upon foresight to shape their own actions in order to adapt and survive; as Charles Darwin revealed in his theory of natural selection, the capacity to do just that is key to the origin of species. The uses of foresight, however, can also be applied to help us further our understanding across a variety of realms in everything from warfare, journalism and music, to ancient civilizations, space weather and science. In a thought-provoking new addition to the Darwin College Lecture Series, eight distinguished authors each present an essay from their area of expertise devoted to the theme of ‘foresight’. This provocative read reveals foresight as a process that can be identified across all areas of human endeavour; an art which can not only predict the future, but make it anything but inevitable. Contributors Geoffrey Lloyd, Bridget Kendall, Robert J. Sawyer, Hasok Chang, Nicholas Cook, Jim Wild, Terrie E. Moffitt and Francesca Rochberg. LAWRENCE W. SHERMAN is Director of the Institute of Criminology at the University of Cambridge, where he has served as Wolfson Professor of Criminology since 2007. He is also Director of the Jerry Lee Centre for Experimental Criminology and Chair of the Cambridge Police Executive Programme. DAVID FELLER holds a PhD in the History and Philosophy of Science from the University of Cambridge, as well as a law degree from Georgetown University Law Center, Washington D.C.

  • Crafting Alliances
    05-Wei-45241.qxd 2/14/2007 5:16 PM Page 191 CHAPTER 5 Crafting Alliances egardless of how successful a social enterprise is at mobilizing funds, most R organizations will inevitably face resource and capacity constraints as a limiting factor to achieving their mission. The resources that any single organi- zation brings to bear on a social problem are often dwarfed by the magnitude and complexity of most social problems. Thus, social entrepreneurs often pursue alliance approaches as a means to mobilizing resources, financial and nonfinan- cial, from the larger context and beyond their own organizational boundaries, to achieve increased mission impact. Social enterprise alliances among nonprofits, nonprofits and business, nonprofits and government, and even across all sectors in the form of tripartite alliances between nonprofit, government, and business have become increasingly common in recent years. Because alliances capitalize on the resources and capacities of more than one organization and capture syn- ergies that would otherwise often go unrealized, they have the potential to gen- erate mission impact far beyond what the individual contributors could achieve independently. This chapter first describes some alliance trends in the social sec- tor and illustrates them with case examples. Next, we introduce a conceptual framework that can be helpful for developing an alliance strategy. Finally, we briefly introduce the chapter’s two case studies, which offer readers an opportu- nity for in-depth analysis of a range of alliance approaches. ALLIANCE TRENDS Increased Competition Increased competition due to a growing number of nonprofits coupled with recent overall declines in social sector funding have contributed to a dramatic 191 05-Wei-45241.qxd 2/14/2007 5:16 PM Page 192 192 Entrepreneurship in the Social Sector increase in the number and form of social enterprise alliances.
