Fast Company/Monitor Group Name 2007 'Social Capitalist' Organizations
Submitted by Rob Johnston on 6 December, 2006 - 16:07.Congratulations to Fast Company Magazine and consulting firm the Monitor Group for expanding the number of organizations they recognize as winners of the 2007 Social Capitalist Awards. Last year I complained that by naming only 10 or 15 organizations and allowing them to repeat they limited our exposure to terrific organizations doing good work.
This year there are 43 winners. All of last years winners are included again, but a solid group of new organizations are added, including Civic Ventures and DonorsChoose, two of my favorites. Here are the profiles (with links to make a contribution) of all 43 winners.
