Hi Lucy,
Click here for a search result of WiserEarth directory on "social venture fund", and here for results on "social business fund grant". Also go here for organizations tagged with "organizational funding" Area of Focus. Quick glance seems to list several relevant organizations, including Ashoka.
And here's a resource page I created to list the organizations: Social Venture Funding | Worldwide (@everyone: feel free to edit and share with your groups). You can also add the organizations on the Network section of the page (click here for the how to)
Best wishes, ~Bowo |

You might also want to contact Marc (mdangear), he's got a good list of blogs on social entrepreneurship. Should have links to funding sources (I saw Acumen there). http://www.wiserearth.org/forum/view/a88a17da38f4bd58f939f4b237e6b555

Bowo - thank you for mentioning me.
Lucy - nice to meet you here too
A good place for sources of funding is the Social Capital Markets wiki: http://socapmarkets.pbworks.com/Social-Venture-Funds

We are interested in compiling a resource list of sources of social funding. If you can provide links to organizations world-wide, it would be appreciated. This material is being used for a college senior project.
Thank you,
Lucy Garrick
