Social Enterprise for Nonprofits
a 2-day workshop
Overview An Intensive Workshop For Nonprofit Organizations Social Enterprise for Nonprofits
If you are like most nonprofit leaders today, you are actively looking for ways to diversify and stabilize your revenue sources. You are probably aware of some of the benefits of social enterprise as a vehicle to create your own steady streams of unrestricted funding. At the same time, you may be concerned about the challenges of successfully launching a social enterprise.
Whether your organization already earns some income and wants to earn more, or you’re interested in exploring the possibilities, this in-depth workshop will show you how to plan, develop, finance and grow an effective social enterprise program. The training gives you proven strategies for maximizing the benefits of social enterprise in a manner that will actually strengthen your organization’s mission by building on its current activities, existing capabilities, and established stakeholder relationships.
The benefits of social enterprise are varied and far-reaching and include:
- Expanded capacity, mission-impact, and revenue.
- Unrestricted, diversified funding.
- Demonstrating sustainability to funders.
The brightest stars of the nonprofit world are already reaping the benefits of social enterprise activities, and you can too! The Grantsmanship Center’s Social Enterprise for Nonprofits (formerly Earned Income Strategies) workshop will show you how to:
- Turn current activities, existing capabilities, and established stakeholder relationships into fresh and vital income streams.
- Open up business opportunities using your agency’s strengths.
- Guard against "mission drift."
- Protect your IRS status.
- Evaluate social enterprise opportunities.
- Prevent diffusion of staff time and focus.
This practical 2-day workshop includes presentation, discussion, lots of Q&A, as well as hands-on work, individually and in small groups. You’ll see tangible results at each step, culminating in market research on an earned income opportunity for your organization and a mini-business plan you’ll create with a team of your peers.
Social Enterprise for Nonprofits was developed by The Grantsmanship Center in cooperation with two of the leading experts in the field: Rolfe Larson and Michael Whitehead-Bust.
Tuition for this comprehensive 2-day training is $495.
