Objectives Understand the characteristics of a successful social enterprise Understand the traditional phases of development Understand the connection between mission and success All while exploring examples of Social Enterprises

What is Social Enterprise? “A social enterprise is a business that trades to tackle social problems, improve communities, people’s life chances, or the environment.” Definition provided by Social Enterprise UK

Social Enterprise Alliance What is Social Enterprise? ...a revenue-generating business with primarily social objectives whose surpluses are reinvested for that purpose in the business or in the community, rather than being driven by the need to deliver profit to shareholders and owners. …organizations that address a basic unmet need or solve a social problem through a market-drive approach. Social Enterprise Alliance …an organization that applies commercial strategies to maximize improvements in human and environmental well-being—this may include maximizing social impact alongside profits for external shareholders. Wikipedia

Impact of Social Enterprise Social Enterprise is one of the fastest growing movements in this country and across the world. It’s the combination of DOING BUSINESS AND DOING GOOD that makes it exciting!

Rise of Social Enterprise Growing desire of charities to be more sustainable in the future Growing consumer awareness of spending and how it affects others Businesses looking for new opportunities to use their power for good

What Social Enterprise Does Social Enterprise DOES NOT… Result in a quick fix Rely on traditional fundraising Require volunteers, grants or donations to stay afloat Work for everyone Social Enterprise DOES… Generate sustainable resources Engage market forces Leverage assets in new ways Offer greater flexibility Decrease dependence

Catholic Charities Fort Worth Social Enterprises A CCFW Social Enterprise must: Be aligned with CCFW services Provide support or employment opportunities for our clients Operate a double or triple bottom line supportive of our mission Be a business with a potential for profit Provide a source of unrestricted funds to put back into the agency to support poverty ending programs

Basic Considerations Do you have an existing program within your agency that would meet the social enterprise criteria? Analyze how the program would change to meet the requirements of a social enterprise. Approach your start-up out of a need in your community and use your agency support of social enterprise to solve it. The key is to use the agency for the start up, not an individual effort.
