UpStart Bay Area, a new nonprofit dedicated to supporting innovative Jewish social entrepreneurs, recently organized a conversation moderated by Lucy Bernholz on “Stepping into New Territory: Rethinking Social Enterprise.” The event was sponsored by the Northern California Grantmakers and the Jewish Community Federation of San Francisco, and included philanthropists and grant-makers from within and beyond the Bay Area Jewish community. The discussion was a ground-breaking first step in what will hopefully be an ongoing conversation about today’s most pressing social needs, the issues and challenges surrounding the funding of innovation, and the most creative and effective ways to address them.
