“Paksy Plackis-Cheng has done an extraordinary thing. She has vividly brought to life the important notion that we too often silo what should be integrated. Pursuing financial profit and seeking social returns for our communities are not, and have never really been, mutually exclusive. But the author does not preach; rather she facilitates, with a good deal of elegance, the reader\u2019s access to those inspirational people among us who have this wisdom and practice it daily.”<\/em><\/p><\/div>

“As a life-long entrepreneur, I appreciate Paksy\u2019s recognition of the importance of private sector accountability in non-profit and social B-corp ventures. As she rightfully states, \u201cInvesting capital in socially sound companies that look at long-term outcomes\u2026 is more sensible than simply writing a check to charity and hoping for the best.\u201d Paksy\u2019s apolitical, pragmatic approach to enabling social good is one that all forward-looking communities should closely consider.”<\/em><\/p><\/div>

“Many people in the nonprofits speak about the people and the planet. Yet, when it comes to profits, it remains awkwardly silent. A profit, at least a healthy balanced budget, is the oxygen for any organization: You need it to survive but it is not the reason to live. Impact X combines the heart of a nonprofit with the mind of a for-profit.”<\/em><\/p><\/div>
