The research for this paper was carried out between February and March 2004 for the project
"Enterprising Asian NPOs" initiated by the Conference of Asian Foundations and Organizations
(CAFO) and funded by the Sasakawa Peace Foundation. This research would not have been possible
without the support and encouragement of these two organizations. Special thanks go to CAFO-
Taiwan for the guidance provided all along the research process, as well as to the Himalaya
Foundation for believing in the importance of social entrepreneurship.
The authors heartfelt gratitude also goes to the representatives of the 10 nonprofit organizations in
Taiwan that have participated in this research by generously agreeing to share during formal
interviews and during informal talks their views on social entrepreneurship or their concrete
experience, as well as by referring the author to useful references, articles and research papers. The
ideas and comments of these senior NPO leaders have guided this research, and the enthusiasm they
show for their work has been an important source of encouragement and inspiration.
