As part of ZeroDivide's social enterprise strategy, we support our non-profit partners by offering them support and resources in law, finance, and marketing for their venture. We call it our 360 Ecosystem of support. This succinct KQED radio report describes a San Francisco effort, support by Hewlett Packard and the Serve America Act, that provides expert business resources to non-profits. One of the former corporate managers talks about learning to use a common "language of results" with non-profit staff as everyone comes to realize that their worlds are not so far apart.

Although the basic applications and ecommerce web host guidelines that make the Internet possible had existed for almost two decades, the network did not gain a public face until the 1990s. On 6 August 1991, CERN, a pan European organization for particle low cost web hosting research, publicized the new World Wide Web project. The Web was invented by English scientist Tim Berners-Lee in 1989. An early popular web browser was ViolaWWW, patterned after HyperCard and built using the X Window System. It was eventually replaced in popularity by the adult web hosting Mosaic web browser. In 1993, the National Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois released version 1.0 of Mosaic, and by late 1994 there was growing public interest in the previously academic, technical Internet. By 1996 usage of the word Internet had web templates become commonplace, and consequently, so had its use as a synecdoche in reference to the World Wide Web.

The concept of social inclusion in essence means replacing a welfarist approach to helping the underprivileged with one of investing in them and their communities to bring them into the mainstream market economy. It’s a modern and fresh approach that views everyone as a potential wealth creator and invests in their human capital. My reason for adopting such an approach is simple: at a time when Australia needs more skilled people and has an ageing population, we simply can’t afford to have one in ten or more of our people out of the workforce due to unemployment, low skills or the effects of chronic poverty. Social inclusion is an economic imperative.
