The Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation has launched a website aimed at encouraging entrepreneurs to share their time and talent as well as money to help the next generation. The Giving Back to Entrepreneurship site (http://givingback.kauffman.org) lists a variety of options for helping aspiring business owners and provides estimates of how much time and money you can expect to devote to various options. It discusses mentoring, serving on the board of a young company, evaluating ideas and teaching either in a full course or as a guest lecturer. This new form of entrepreneurial philanthropy involves more than just writing a check to a favorite charity. In addition to money, it can involve offering time and expertise, said Sue Hesse, an entrepreneur-in-residence at the Kauffman Foundation in Kansas City. |
