Social Enterprise is the pursuit of unrestricted cash flow through leveraging and/or monetizing existing assets.
This new source of revenue developed from existing assets is becoming more valuable in the current economic downturn, when monetary contributions from endowments, government grants and foundations are on a decline.
Social Enterprise can help you:
- Reduce reliance on unpredictable/inconsistent funding
- Produce predictable ongoing business activity generating unrestricted cash flow

Social Impact Investing
Social impact investing: Offers a nonprofit organization the opportunity to get the funds it needs to meet its short- and long-term objectives by reaching out beyond the traditional philanthropic funding sources.
“Impact Investing can be defined as ‘investments intended to create positive impact beyond financial return’ (JP Morgan Global Research, 2010). The difference with philanthropy lies in the fact that philanthropy has traditionally focused on gifts made by individuals and organizations to benefit society and the environment, whereas impact investing requires a minimum of return on principal.” *
To assist you in gaining a clearer and broader understanding of the value social impact investing offers as an alternative funding source, we have developed the following four videos which you can view by “clicking” on the designated area.
