About the conference
A
one-day conference providing the tools for a successful social
enterprise program. Sponsored by the California Association of
Nonprofits (CAN®) in association with the Social Enterprise Institute
(SEI).
What is a social enterprise?
They are "non-profit and for-profit organizations that
create positive social change within the context of sustainable
business models – are developing new and powerful solutions to
society’s most challenging social issues. Social enterprises are not
traditional non-profit organizations that depend on charitable giving
for sustainability, nor are they simply socially responsible for-profit
companies. Rather, they represent a powerful new breed of organizations
that create sustainable societal change by combining the passion of
social mission and the efficiency of a market-based approach.
Launching, managing and growing a social enterprise require a unique
set of skills, experience and networks. Social enterprisers often find
they are working in isolation, on the edge of both the traditional
charitable and market-driven cultures, each with their own set of
norms."
