Title: I&#x27;ve been very curious about this.<p>There seems to be a few categories of non-profits&#x2F;social enterprise that are heavy in their tech usage that are also relatively large. The goal here is to see if it is possible to make a great social impact and be relatively unaffected by the interests of investors, which presumably will (but not always) be in conflict with the social impact interests.<p>* Direct Nonprofits:
- Wikipedia
- Khan Academy<p>* Nonprofits with for profit Subsidiary 
- Mozilla Foundation<p>* For profits with a nonprofit like governance
- Craigslist
- Kickstarter<p>I would love to hear your thoughts on more examples to flesh out the above, or perhaps a refutation of my argument that a for-profit organization cannot make a huge social impact through traditional means. (For example, would Wikipedia be as influential today if it were a for-profit? Craigslist a nonprofit?).<p>I would also love to know if there are any further articles&#x2F;books&#x2F;reading on the subject.
