Non-profit index

There is a great ‘round-up’ posting on the Philanthropy 2173 blog talking about new media tools. On it I read about Altruistiq, a stock exchange for non-profits. This seems to me like a great bridge between the third and commercial sector. One step on from the FTSE4Good index which measures performance in companies which meet specific CSR standards. Stock prices are moved by market demand so are vulnerable to changing whims, and sadly only open to organizations with a yearly revenue of over $100,000. Regardless of this, what a great idea, and I wish them luck!
