More and more, we are seeing social entrepreneurs (in fact, you will see many of them on our sister site, Ideablob.com). 

To get some background on this trend, there's a good piece on HeraldNet.com. 

So, what is a social entrepreneur?  According to Ashoka (which is a global organization of about 2,000 social entrepreneurs): 

"individuals with innovative solutions to society's most pressing social problems. Rather than leaving societal needs to the government or business sectors, social entrepreneurs find what is not working and solve the problem by changing the system."

There's also a new book on the topic; that is, David Bornstein's How to Change the World: Social Entrepreneurs and the Power of New Ideas, Updated Edition.
