2016. What a year, eh?

The Generocity stories listed here aren’t necessarily the stories we felt were the most “important” or had the most “impact” — that list is on the way. They’re simply the best-shared and the most-clicked, as recorded by Google Analytics. (Minus our homepage and the like, plus this story about 10 social impact orgs that were hiring. Boring!)

First, though, taking a nod from sister site Technical.ly Philly, here are a few of the most-read that didn’t quite make the top-10 cut:

• Quakers pioneered social enterprise. They were also the first to fail
• This time-traveling sci-fi writer is not your average public interest attorney (a.k.a. our first introduction to the now-storied Rasheedah Phillips)
• This founder raised $450K for a social enterprise that failed. Here’s what he learned

And now, in order of page views:
