A Feast to Sink Your Teeth Into

This past summer I got wind of an organization called All Day Buffet and an upcoming event they were hosting called The Feast. With names like that, I was immediately intrigued (after all, I do love food!). But when I read more about the event, I started to get really excited.
The Feast Conference gathers the world’s [...]

Coming to a Theatre Near You

Recently I came across the story of Colin Beavan, a blogger also known as No Impact Man. For one year, Colin and his family committed themselves to living a “no impact” lifestyle, taking incredible steps to reduce their environmental footprint. In Colin’s own words:

New Feature: The Basics

In an effort to make the content on The Changebase as user-friendly and understandable as possible, I’ve launched a new feature called “The Basics“.

Summer of Social Good

These days I’m loving the cross-pollinating going on between social media and “social good”; that is, using Web 2.0 and platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and other social networking sites to raise awareness and create change.
I was reading through my Twitterfeed today and came across a post, “10 Ways to Support Charity Through Social Media”. While [...]

I want this site to be a knowledgebase of sorts, where anyone interested in social enterprise, nonprofits, philanthropy, environmental sustainability or CSR (and everything in between) can connect and [...]
