Socially Responsible Business Plan Competition

The William James Foundation is once again looking for socially responsible business plans for it's annual competition. Winners receive a range of consulting services, strategic assistance, software, cash, and more. From the Executive Director Ian Fisk:

We are looking to help startup for-profit businesses that have social and/or environmental goals and methods, in addition to the traditional financial bottom line.

For example, past entries have focused on green building consulting, providing organic products, and economic development tied to the needs of an under-served community. Or it could be a regular business that makes the effort to involve social or environmental processes in its work.

The competition is totally free -- each qualified plan will receive feedback from experts, and plans that make it to the final round stand to receive significant prizes.

The deadline for executive summaries (3-5 pages) is Friday, January 26th.
