SUMMARY:Social Enterprise 101: The Intersection of Profit and Purpose (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:What exactly is a social enterprise? How do you start one? And where can you go for help?\n\n\nAbout the workshop: \nAre you curious about how business can be used as a force for good? Join us for an in-depth webinar that explores the world of social enterprise—a unique and growing business model that blends entrepreneurial strategies with a mission to create meaningful social\, environmental\, or cultural impact. \nIn this session\, you’ll gain a detailed understanding of what defines a social enterprise and how it differs from traditional for-profit businesses and non-profits. We’ll explore the key characteristics and models of social enterprises\, and learn about important legal and operational considerations\, such as choosing the right structure\, balancing profit and purpose\, and measuring social impact. \nThe webinar will also feature real-world examples of local social enterprises\, highlighting how they operate\, generate revenue\, and deliver measurable benefits to their communities. Whether you’re considering starting your own social enterprise or simply want to understand how they work\, these stories will provide inspiration and insight. \nAdditionally\, we will cover the support resources available to aspiring social entrepreneurs\, including funding opportunities\, mentorship programs\, business development services\, and local networks. \nThis session is perfect for entrepreneurs\, community leaders\, non-profit professionals\, students\, or anyone interested in building a more sustainable and equitable future through innovative business models. \nDon’t miss this opportunity to explore how you can turn your passion for social change into a viable and impactful enterprise. \n \nAbout CSED: \nThe Centre for Social Enterprise Development (CSED) offers a continuum of support for social enterprises in the Ottawa area\, including access to technical expertise\, coaching\, learning communities\, training\, and cross-sector partnerships.
