What kinds of non-profits focus on smart development?
August 9, 2006 1:23 PM Subscribe
I'm looking to volunteer for a non-profit that focuses on reducing poverty through smart, bottom-up solutions - e.g., microfinance or economic policy reform would be attractive. Any recommendations? Bonus points if I can get involved locally here in Los Angeles.
I have done some research about microfinance institutions; I'm primarily interested in ideas for other types of non-profits that share a similar philosophy. (I'll hazard that philosophy as: capitalism is capable of serving the poor much better than as currently practiced.)
Something that makes use of my skills as a management consultant would be ideal.
I realize this is a bit vague; I'm looking for creative ideas rather than specific ones. Thanks!
