Social enterprise has been a buzzword among nonprofits for the better part of the last decade, but what it means — how social enterprises are formed, financed, operated, and dissolved — continues to evolve. Though many new organizations are being created as sole social enterprises, many existing nonprofits are turning to the concepts of social entrepreneurship to diversify revenue streams and decrease reliance on philanthropic dollars.

Join us for a facilitated roundtable discussion to share experiences and insights related to social enterprise and revenue enhancement.

At the end of this session, you will be able to:

• Identify different ways social enterprises can be organized, financed, and governed
• Evaluate the pros and cons of different legal structures — both the mission and the money impacts
• Start or continue conversations about the fit and relevance of social enterprises within your organization

Who should attend:

This session is designed for CFOs, controllers, financial managers, board members, trustees, audit committee members, and other nonprofit decision makers.
