Charles Handy
Social Business Philosopher and Writer

The New Philanthropists
Venture Philanthropists apply the same approaches to their social investments that they would to a business investment, specifying the desired outcomes and monitoring progress. Entrepreneurial philanthropists take it one step further. They initiate and direct their own ventures, creating self-sustaining social enterprises. Charles and Elizabeth Handy have interviewed and photographed a cross section of such individuals in their new book - The New Philanthropists. They range from investment banker Peter Lampl, whose Sutton Trust has invigorated the education debate in Britain, to Peter Ryan who started a micro-loan operation in Malawi in his spare time. In his talk Charles Handy will describe some of the 23 people featured in the book, will discuss how they did it and why, as well as the lessons that can be drawn from their example.
