The games they support are "non entertainment" games, but not necessarily pro social change.Lucy Bernholzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09253941214286179394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3614581.post-31874601011953599552006-12-09T13:18:00.000-08:002006-12-09T13:18:00.000-08:00Hi Lucy -- thanks for this post.

In the spirit of small worlds, I used to work with the Nonprofit Sector & Philanthropy Project at the Aspen Institute and now am in charge of communications for the Pioneer Portfolio, the area within the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation that funds Games for Health. <br /><br />A couple of notable things -- Games for Health and RWJF are currently running a competition to encourage more game developers, health organizations, other nonprofits and like-minded individuals to submit concepts for video and computer game applications in the health and health care space. More info. is at www.gamesforhealth.org/competition. We hope to stimulate some great ideas that can add to this dynamic and rapidly growing field. Please share this opportunity with appropriate audiences! <br /><br />Also, the Pioneer Portfolio at RWJF has launched a blog on innovative ideas that have the potential to trigger breakthrough improvements in health and health care (http://blogs.rwjf.org/pioneer). It's pretty wide in its scope, and covers social entrepreneurship, new philanthropic models and ways to source ideas, and other out-of-the-box approaches to shaping the future of health and health care. We hope you and your readers will check it out.<br /><br />Thanks so much -- your blog is great and I look forward to seeing new posts.<br /><br />Susan KruttSusan Promislohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08050003387827165086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3614581.post-61952298451302700002006-12-09T10:40:00.000-08:002006-12-09T10:40:00.000-08:00My latest greatest passion is nonprofit social en...My latest greatest passion is nonprofit social entrepreneurs making an elearning game together that will solve the mystery of earned income profitability. I believe the strategic meta-patterns that lead to earned income profitability are hidden in our collective experience. All we need is a way to get at them.<br /><br />I recently launched a wiki and a blog to this end (http://selearninggames.wikispaces.com and http://selearninggames.wordpress.com)<br /><br />I actually have a Poll set up to see if anybody else thinks this is a good idea. You can take the Poll, explore the wiki and blog.... please tell me what YOU think.<br /><br /><a href="http://selearninggames.wikispaces.com/Poll">Poll</a>Sandra Dickinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14508004816019336159noreply@blogger.com
