On Tuesday, Matthew Bishop, The Economist’s New York Bureau Chief and co-author of the highly acclaimed book Philanthrocapitalism, moderated a panel of three social entrepreneurs on the subject of giving. The conversation highlighted innovative strategies for giving and concluded with an exciting Q&A session for panelists Lauren Bush, founder of FEED Projects, Scott Harrison, founder of Charity:Water, and our own Charles Best, founder and CEO of DonorsChoose.org. Bishop provides a fantastic summary of the event on the Philanthrocapitalism blog, and DonorsChoose.org is thrilled to have been included in both the discussion, as well as in the book itself.
