Check out ENP here in Vancouver and also in Alberta, Toronto and Ottawa. The Ontario websites are still being built out.
What is a social enterprise? The definition ENP uses is as follows:
“Social enterprises are businesses operated by non-profits with the dual purpose of generating income by selling a product or service in the marketplace and creating a social, environmental or cultural value. …”
This is also referred to this as a blended return.
You can access their list of resources here. There are lots of good examples, videos and surveys. Take a look.
For those of us in BC, there will be workshops held by ENP in 14 different communities. Sign up here. Building Your Social Enterprise Workshops
