Don’t forget the very important work done by the academic research centers, such as the Center for the Advancement of Social Entrepreneurship (CASE at Duke, http://www.CASEatDuke.org ), founded by pioneering social entrepreneurship thought leader Prof. Greg Dees, previously the co-founder of the Center for Social Innovation at Sanford and contributor to the launch of the Social Enterprise Initiative at Harvard. The Skoll Centre at Oxford has been a major player. Initiatives at Yale and Nothwestern (Kellogg) and Berkley (Haas) have also been around for a while now. In the past five years, centers have been launched at NYU, Babson, the University of Maryland, Tulane, and many others. For example, see the Ashoka U “Changemaker Campus Consortium” at http://ashokau.org/changemaker-campus/

Finally, consider adding the Social Impact Exchange national conference and community of interest, the largest annual conference focused on scaling social impact http://www.socialimpactexchange.org/

Ian,

That’s a really good point. I struggled with the whole “funders” category, it’s really more of a funders and supporters and ecosystem builders category. And thanks for pointing me to your list of conferences and competitions. We’ll mine that for additions to our list. Thanks so much!
