Bill Milner

Briefly, we have four options for sources of capital to meet the difficult challenges we face;

* Business
* Wealthy Individuals
* Government, taxes, regulation and law.
* Non Governmental Sector; non-profits, religious and educational institutions, foundations, etc.

There is often an interplay between these systems. They all bring advantages and disadvantages to efforts at Human advancement. If we are to break free from the limitations and inertia of the status quo we need a new way to synthesize these various components to give maximum influence to citizens and community members in rebuilding their communities and being co-creators of a vibrant participatory democracy. The idea that I propose combines the best aspects of the for-profit and non-profit worlds; the purpose driven mission of non-profits with the capital aggregation of for-profit businesses.
