Social impact: Self-transcendence

Life changing: provides hope, self-actualization, motivation, affiliation/belonging

Emotional: reduces anxiety, wellness, therapeutic value, provides access, rewards me

Functional: reduces risks, integrates, connects

Blended value:

Blended value is a relatively new conceptual framework in which non-profit organizations, companies, and investments are assessed on their capacity to create a combination of financial, social, and environmental value. Businesses that use mixed value business models actively enhance their social impact while maintaining economic efficiency. A fair-trade coffee cooperative, for example, generates social value via guaranteed minimum prices given to coffee growers and direct investments in community development.

Social stakeholder:

Social responsibility will only be accurate if many managers embrace moral leadership rather than immoral leadership, organizational management, and business ethics that engage morals and values in corporate governance. In a nutshell, it addresses the concept of who or what really matters.

Donation-based:

Crowdfunding for charity purposes is a collaborative effort by people to aid charitable projects. Civic crowdfunding is a kind of charity crowdfunding in which money is collected to improve public life and space.

Healthcare:

The prevention, treatment, and management of disease and maintaining mental and physical well-being via the medical and allied health professionals' services. It includes diagnostic, preventative, remedial, and therapeutic service providers such as physicians, nurses, hospitals, and other private, public, and volunteer organizations. Additionally, it comprises producers of medical equipment and pharmaceuticals, as well as health insurance companies.

Nonprofit organization:

The nonprofit world rarely engages in equally clear and succinct conversations about an organization’s long-term funding strategy. It works on funds and provides services to the user free of cost. That is because the different types of funding that fuel nonprofits have never been clearly defined. A nonprofit organization is often dedicated to furthering a particular social cause or advocating for a particular point of view. In economic terms, a nonprofit organization uses its surplus revenues to further achieve its purpose or mission, rather than distributing its surplus income to the organization's shareholders (or equivalents) as profit or dividends.
