What is the Philantrepreneur? Is it a concept, model
or resource? Let’s say, all of them.
AS A CONCEPT
Dr. Victoria Boyd first shared the term in a blog February of 2013. Obviously a derivative of
‘philanthropy’ and ‘entrepreneur‘, she described how they were joined was significant.
‘Philan’ – ‘trepreneur’ puts weight and emphasizes the entrepreneur component. Historically
two separate paths, for profit and nonprofit, but as socio and economic climates shift, the two
entities are increasingly becoming dependent on each other.
AS A MODEL
The Philantrepreneur Model is the bridge that joins, and more important, aligns corporation’s
goals with community needs. Based on the concepts of ‘impact investing’ and ‘meaningful
marketing’ the model develops systems that support ‘congruence of interest’. Equally useful for
entrepreneurs and corporation, it is grounded in relationships between purpose and profits.
AS A RESOURCE
The Philantrepreneur is a full service resource. The HUB contains the tools you need to be
effective and efficient. The radio show and journal provide tips, strategies and insight from
leaders across the country. Find Consulting services for training or development.
