Social Enterprise — The Road to Sustainability for Your Nonprofit

Sometimes, all that’s required to begin a social enterprise venture is finding a new market for current services, or re-pricing current programs or finding new uses for current space.

Specifically, some of the agencies we have worked with have developed the following earned income programs: a monthly flea market on agency property, arts and culture distance learning programs, weddings and programs at a botanical garden, customized fitness programs, nonprofit training and consulting services, contracts with school districts for science learning programs, upscale thrift stores, entrepreneurial training for children through a community store, transitional housing programs, and many more.
