This book explores the emerging concept of entrepreneurial philanthropy, where philanthropists apply business-like strategies to drive social impact.

It also provides case studies of successful ventures where philanthropic efforts have generated long-term solutions, shifting from charity to impact-driven entrepreneurship.
