b'In response, some foundations have, for the past few decades, been exploring mission-related investing, seeking opportunities to put some of their investment assets to work in ways that are consistent with their philanthropic purpose. However, despite how intriguing and occasionally compelling this idea has seemed, mission-related investing has proven quite chal-lenging, culturally and strategically, and has gained little overall traction in the philanthropic community. I. Funds offer a clear, alternative path forward. Rather than trying to deconstruct grantmaking organizations in order to splice investing into their DNA, I. Funds would bring a whole new class of clearly dedi-cated social-purpose investment assets to the task of systemic economic change. A. Corporations. (A. for altruistic.) A. Corporations are companies that give away 100% of their profits. Discussion. A. Corporations come at the boundary between prof-it-maximization and social purpose from a different direction. By dedicating all of their earnings to charity, they constitute a radical departure from shareholder/fiduciary capitalism. A few dozen intrepid entrepreneurs have explored this model over the past few decades, many inspired by the example of Newmans Own, which has given away more than $500 million. Give Something Back, a 25-year-old, Oakland-based office supply company, had, prior to its recent sale to another local private company, given away some 70% of its profits, by vote of its customers. Based on our experience, I believe more than ever in the way this model combines community and entrepreneurial spirit. We grew a vibrant company, created jobs, involved the community in decision-making, balanced the interests of all stakeholders, and donated nearly $10 million, states co-founder Mike Hannigan. Its a beautiful way to do business and something that is a lot easier than most people think.23'
