Kim Alter has presented us with such a tool.
Building on the nearly three decades of funding experience of the Social Enterprise Program of the
Inter-American Development Bank, drawing upon the writings of practitioners and thought leaders
from around the world, Kim has done an excellent job presenting us–social entrepreneur, investor,
academic, and practitioner–with a set of frameworks and definitions to assist each of us in
understanding how our own work fits with that of others and how together these various parts are
unavoidably becoming interwoven into a singular whole.
