    Roberts Enterprise Development Fund

    The practice and philosophy of social venture capital
    6/5/2000
    The Roberts Enterprise Development Fund (REDF) is a pioneer in a practice they've dubbed "social venture capital" in which "social purpose business ventures" employing homeless and low-income individuals are supported with capital investments and technical and management support. They've filled this Web site with information not just about what they do, but about the ideas behind them. Read the FAQ or scan the Nonprofit Marketplace for a list of social purpose enterprises. But for the most in-depth understanding of what REDF is all about, be sure to visit the Publications for the extensive collection of full-text books, papers, essays and other materials on "the philosophy and practice of social enterprise, venture philanthropy and the ever-changing nonprofit sector."
