Can you make money and do good?

Posted on: Wednesday, April 3, 2013

I work in the corporate world and am constantly struggling with how to do good and still pay my bills.  At the moment I am a volunteer pro bono consultant with the Taproot Foundation and sit on the board of a non-profit focused on education (all of which leaves me with little free time, but does help to feed the soul).  If it were up to me I would be in the non-profit sector full time, which is why an article from Fast Company that came across my desk yesterday titled "5 Ways to Make Money and Do Good," definitely struck a chord. As the article points out, it's not easy but with some dedication and varying degrees of personal risk, it is possible.

"The social impact sector splits neatly between those on a mission and those who support them."
