2014 - Creating Social Enterprises seminar

Description

Social Enterprises are becoming more common, are reaching more people and creating more impact than ever before. 

Social Enterprises are businesses that create community impacts, operate via a social mission, and in most cases, are owned and operated by a non-profit organization. 

These unique businesses work to advance a social mission, service a community need, and most importantly, provide supplemental revenue for providing traditional non-profit services.

Join this morning seminar to learn the basics of Social Enterprises -- what they are, what they do, and who creates them. Gain an understanding of Social Enterprises and a basic overview of the steps taken in planning & developing one.

Hear from our speaker, Kim Buksa of Enterprising Non-Profits, on how you can help your community, fulfill your mission and generate additional revenue to support non-profit organizations by building a Social Enterprise.
