Making sustainability centers as important to a
communitys ethos as the zoo. Partners include
government agencies, major environmental
organizations, corporations, and individuals
produces a physical space around history of
civilization, production, shifting toward a more
sustainable future. By 2008 we hope to have a
business plan. By 2010 we hope to have the first
physical space, somewhere in Northern California.
The next step to take Wednesday is to pull
together a small cohort to forward the
idea. Social Venture Capital Working with
philanthropists and charities to bring funds to
impactful charities. Start it on a volunteer
basis without initial financing. Once branded,
it would be funded with a philanthropic advising
fee to the donors and to the charities for
consulting. In 2008 a team of people from
finance and non-profit backgrounds will start to
make these marriages. The next step to take
tomorrow is to get on the phone and flesh out the
idea.
