WIN $25,000 IN THE GLOBAL SOCIAL VENTURE COMPETITION
The Global Social Venture Competition began in 1999 as a student-led initiative at the Haas School of Business. In May 2001, Columbia Business School and The Goldman Sachs Foundation partnered with Haas to extend the reach of the competition and help grow a national platform for social ventures. In June 2003, the London Business School joined the competition partnership. This unprecedented partnership brings together the academic and financial worlds to support the creation of social ventures.

Each year, entrant teams from around the world compete for over $45,000 in cash and travel prizes. This year, the Grand Prize of $25,000 will be awarded to the plan that achieves the best blended value (high economic and social returns). For the 2005-2006 Competition, executive summaries are due on November 16, 2005 (optional) and full business plans are due January 25, 2006.
