Business entrepreneurs and philanthropy

Here is a terrific piece from Mario Morino – a kindred spirit of Acumen Fund, given his focus on accountable philanthropy that insists on building institutions and not simply programs. Mario has one of philanthropy’s most honest and self-critical voices around what it takes not only to be an effective philanthropist, but to be an effective problem-solver in general. We have a lot to learn from Mario and the work of Venture Philanthropy Partners, and I personally am honored to know him.
