New Profit believes that social entrepreneurs are uniquely positioned in our society to restore to all Americans the opportunity to pursue the American Dream. Yet the environment surrounding them fails to foster the kinds of relationships among these innovators and across sectors that would enable them to meet their full potential for social change. New Profit seeks opportunities in addition to our work with our portfolio to engage with individuals and organizations to strengthen the environment for social entrepreneurs and support their efforts to shape more effective allocation of public and private resources at national, state, and local levels. Through convenings like the Gathering of Leaders and initiatives like America Forward, we are experimenting with the power of bringing leaders together to unleash their full potential to shape our near, and distant, future.
