1. What is Social Enterprise?
The concept of social enterprise is on the cutting edge of today’s non profit planning and operation. Rising costs, more competition for fewer donations and grants, have driven many non-profit organizations to consider innovative options and balancing outcomes for their clients. They have turned to hybrid businesses or social enterprises to create sustainable sources of earned income for their organizations to reduce dependency and uncertainty. The dawn of this silent economic, social and environmental revolution is therefore emerging as a powerful sector.
