I recently attended the Social Enterprise Alliance’s annual summit in Boston.  This gathering of social change leaders from around the world brought together entrepreneurs, lenders, investors, consultants, researchers and educators from a variety of social enterprises to share best practices and highlight leading initiatives.  I am happy to say that the First Book Marketplace was invited to present at two panels focusing on funding opportunities for innovative organizations. 

I could not be prouder of the way First Book and the First Book Marketplace continue to harness the power of the private sector to advance social change.  It was also exhilarated to be reminded how many others are doing revolutionary things in this same category around the world.  To learn more about the Social Enterprise Alliance please visit www.se-alliance.org or, better yet, join us for next year’s annual gathering April 15-17 in New Orleans!
