Belmont has Two Social Ventures in Running at ideablob.com

Belmont students have two ideas in this month’s ideablob.com competition. Both are ventures based on social entrepreneurship business model. As of this morning they hold the top two spots in the voting.
Noah Curran’s idea is called Turning Actions into Good, which is a web-based non-profit charity which revolves around the kindness of strangers. The concept allows anyone who feels compelled to participate in a charity, regardless of their financial status, a way in which to contribute. If people want to get involved, they can do it in a variety of ways. Whether it is through actions or through generosity, anyone can do an act of kindness. What makes all of this possible is the facilitation of the official TAG website.
Jancie Dotti summarizes her ideablob entry as follows:
“I want to create a completely fair trade, completely organic coffeehouse that sponsors social justice causes while taking care with the environment. In addition to serving fair trade coffee, we will also only use fair trade sugar, tea, and cocoa as we educate our consumers on how their buying habits affect the working poor in developing countries. Every month, this coffeehouse would sponsor a social justice cause–promoting awareness to customers about worldwide issues of injustice. This coffeehouse will also have free wifi, live music, local art–all with a community emphasis.”
