Entrepreneurship, business social orientation and web 2.0 are three areas of growing interest in last years. In this work converges those scopes in a type of entities that emerged in the first decade of the twenty-first century: peer to peer Charities and social e-banking. This paper aims at identifying common features and patterns across this social entrepreneurial organizations adopting enterprise 2.0 and technology scope (Markfleet, 2008).

First of all, let’s put this kind of entities at the intersection of two phenomena: social entrepreneurship and Web 2.0 development. In early twenty-first century Internet entry in a new phase of development -Web 2.0-, emerging multitude of initiatives inspired by social networking and other social organizations that places as actors -rather than excluded people of developed countries as in the case of the traditional social enterprise-, to agents, projects and social entities that perform their work in developing countries, either directly or through local or international NGOs. In this context can be located the peer to peer Charities, entities characterized undoubtedly by a social sense -their main targets are people with scarce resources, but very different from social enterprises by the end of the century- that are sources of funding for the entrepreneurship, among others aspects.

After, we show main characteristics of peer to peer Charities and social banking from data obtained from various sources: primary and secondary. We try to describe how its founders are, what their organizational desing, what are the processes and growth strategies, among others.

Finally, as a result of information gathered and exposed features, we will propose a series of questions or dilemmas that can make in the not too distant future the development of such organizations because of their special characteristics.
