{The government of Norway also uses social criteria in its investment decisions - see Wikipedia entry on 'socially-responsible investing' - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socially-responsible_investing, as do the Society of Friends (Quakers)}.
And here's Vanguard Mutual Funds' (which launched its first S&P 500-like index fund in 1976) founder Jack Bogle's blog - johncbogle.com/
The argument for socially conscious index funds is compelling, but the socially conscious INDEX investing world, in general, hasn't successfully offered low cost index funds yet, comparable with Vanguard's array of mutual funds. In spite of their higher costs, index mutual funds are still compelling due to indexing.

World University and School ~ worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/World_University ~ will take a kind of indexing approach to education, teaching and learning, by inclusively welcoming all contributors who want to teach or learn, in all languages and subjects - in a kind of group knowledge production approach - but cultivate a high academic standard vis-a-vis MIT Open Course Ware and other great universities.
Add a course / class / something-you-want-to-teach {with your webcam}, or take a courses (on the web via video, or interactively, in Second Life, for example}. World University and School is like Wikipedia with MIT Open Course Ware, and here you can add what you'd like to teach, or find on the web.

Both socially conscious investing and World University and School are expressions of caring.
