Heart of the Valley Social Entrepreneurship

Social entrepreneurship is becoming ever more important for achieving social goals. As the government sector hits budgetary reality checks imposed by unsustainable political promises and payoffs, its scope of activities will necessarily contract. When public choices require tradeoffs among important functions, maintaining police, public health, and pollution control are compelling examples, other worthwhile social activities will suffer neglect. Even a nation as rich as ours, and we remain immensely wealthy, hits financial constraints.

Fortunately America, far more than European nations, has a rich tradition and great experience in creating voluntary organization, alternatives to strictly political management. Publicly spirited citizens design and implement non-coercive means to achieve compassionate outcomes. This is social entrepreneurship.
