This is the spirit of volunteering; Ben & Jason with friends raising money in the week-long Mannequin Challenge which raised over £15,000 for St Michaels Hospice in Harrogate. Incredible vocals by Annie Drury.

 

 

Thank you, Jacqueline

Dear Alison,

We wanted to share with you an article on Acumen Fund that just appeared in BusinessWeek's "Inside Innovation" supplement (the March 12 issue, now on newsstands).  The story, an extension and update of what was featured in their online magazine last fall, is also up on their website – along with a few web-only features, including slide shows on our investment in drip irrigation and about the Acumen Fund Fellows.

We're excited, of course, to be able to share the Acumen Fund message, but more so about the growing interest there seems to be in market-based models for addressing problems of poverty.

All the best,

Jacqueline Novogratz
