چکیده
The article addresses an issue that could result in profound changes in the ability of the United States to resolve the most pressing humanitarian and global problems of our times.

The article proposes that a newly developed U.S. business sector at the intersection of the for-profit and nonprofit worlds holds valuable tools for providing donors with the ability to engage in more efficient giving.
