The analyses of table 2 don’t allow the recognition of a similar pattern between the projects in BVS.
Nevertheless, the analysis of total funding projects allows the identification of some common vectors.
The four projects 100% funding are:
� “Cozinhar o Futuro”: is an innovative project that aims to prepare the future for young mothers -
mostly single mothers belonging to disadvantaged social classes. The project provides
professional training and support teenage mothers providing to these young mothers a
sustainable living project.
� “UMAD”: it is a van equipped with a doctor's office with medical staff. The project provides home
health care to children, keeping in their homes, and simultaneously, helping families to gain
autonomy in the processes associated with the treatments.
� “Audiodescrição.pt”: this project aims the implementation of audio description in all artistic and
cultural events in the country. This technological resource allows understanding scenarios and
environments, facial expressions, body language, input and output of characters from the scene,
as well as other types of action, used in television, film, theater, museums, exhibitions and other
art forms, to complement the sense of artistic and cultural expression for the blind.
� “Retalhos de Esperança”: through this project unemployed women from Madeira Island recycle
donated clothing and produce new home clothes.
The first two projects are projects with a higher involvement of different stakeholders and sponsors.
The third project also as an important involvement of different stakeholders. They are linked with
reputable organizations which have a wide contact network and a historical of well success .projects,
suggesting some variables, such as, historical and organization seniority, entrepreneur proactivity,
stakeholders participation.
The fourth project with a more regional scope and a small dimension in terms of funding and public
target, suggest that the local participation are crucial for the success of these kind of projects, where
the community is the main partner.
This analyse concerning the reasons of this attractiveness also suggest similar tendencies with other
studies cited in literature review that reveals the importance of the strategies followed by
entrepreneurs in order to attract resources, such as, the use of networks and social resourcing,
financial bootstrapping, strategies of effectuation (Domenico et al, 2010).
Finally it was assessing the sustainability of these projects considering economic dimension (eg job
creation), social dimension (eg, resolution of a social need for a vulnerable group) and environmental
dimension (eg, reduction of impacts on the environment). Table 3 presents the results of this analysis
