Introduction to Social Enterprise

Social Enterprises address the most pressing problems faced by societies by employing scalable, self-sustaining, innovative, and unique social business models that address the triple bottom line; PLANET (environmental), PEOPLE (social and cultural) and PROFIT, in order to create greater business value.  What is the value and potential for social enterprise in the non-profit sector? Social enterprise is the way to create social change, but also, as a tool to diversify and create sustainability in how non-profit organizations fund their operations now and in the future.     #ChangemakerGC  @ChangemakerGC
