Linking Social Enterprise and CRA
December 9, 2008
San Francisco, CA
Social enterprise offers a market-driven approach to creating jobs and pathways to employment for low-income people and communities, and increasingly is being embraced by community development organizations as a strategy for generating income. This forum will provide attendees with an in-depth understanding of “social enterprise” – what it is, how it works and why it has proven to be effective in transforming lives, organizations and communities. Funders and service delivery organizations alike will benefit from first hand information about how to combine business acumen with social mission to provide a “double bottom-line” return on charitable and non-charitable investments.
