PHILANTHROPY, ENTREPRENEURS AND THE CIVIC SECTOR

摘要

The origins and motives of the philanthropist and entrepreneur combine to create a quasi business model that may become a more common economic entity. This is presented in the in the context of the civic sector which is defined as a third force in the US economy. Blending the initiatives and practices of the philanthropist and entrepreneur is subsequently defined as entrepreneurial philanthropy. As the economy evolves during its post recession recovery, the entrepreneurial philanthropist may be responsible for an increasing share of job growth and economic activity in the civic sector within the economy.
