In selecting the winner of our second Idea Challenge (congratulations again to Nadia Bini of Montreal!), Challenge Your World was forced to revisit the question of how the “people” and “profit” elements of sustainability interact with one another. And for good reason — 8 of the Top 10 ideas in our recent Challenge were concepts for social enterprises. By now, we’re all very familiar with the lexicon of sustainability — the “triple bottom line”, and the “3Ps: People, Planet and Profit”. When looked at separately, the social, environmental and economic components have fairly specific definitions. But when it comes to tightly integrating the social [...]

Next Monday, February 15th, we’ll announce the Top IdeaMaker from our January 2010 Challenge.

We provide the Top IdeaMaker with a $5000 USD development incentive and three months of direct support and services to advance the development of their idea.

Support for Haïti

Publié par Debbie Carman le janv. 15, 2010 at 1:14 pm sous in Headlines
Following the disastrous earthquake that struck on Tuesday, millions of people in Haïti are trying to recover from the tremendous shock and damage. The situation in Haïti is especially critical, because the earthquake hit the capital, Port-au-Prince, crippling government institutions and local aid agencies. On Wednesday, members of the Challenge Your World team took part in the Ski4CARE fundraiser. The event, which was organized by our partner CARE Canada, raised $39,000 for Haïtian families and orphans. What's more, for every dollar raised, the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) is supporting the project by matching every donation 3 [...]
