This is a great list! I think we are certainly moving toward #3. We are seeing more and more not-for-profits and social enterprises structuring themselves for sustainability through investment from socially minded investors. While it will take some time for this market to mature it is growing exponentially everyday.
Though the 2008 financial markets have bought difficulties in all areas of our economy it has also forced not-for-profits and social enterprises to begin to look for new sources of capital speeding up this process as well.
I look forward to seeing more on this topic this year. Happy New Years to all!
