A story from this week at Forbes:
"Philanthropy is similar to investing, but until now it hasn't been treated with the same level of discipline," says Steve Beck, CEO of Geneva Global. "We're a philanthropic Investment bank."
Here's how it works: Geneva Global is the middle man. It uses its network of about 600 on-the-ground advisers in the developing world to find worthy community programs and socially minded entrepreneurs to invest in. Geneva Global vets each funding candidate to ensure they all have a promising business model and a solid management structure.
