Social Enterprise
Social entrepreneurs couple the Spirit of Entrepreneurship and business
models to ventures with a social objective. They are ambitious and
persistent and bring innovative solutions to society's most pressing
social problems. Social entrepreneurs are agents of change who find
what is not working and use market opportunities and innovative strategies
to change the system and disseminate the solution - ultimately resulting
in a beneficial societal equilibrium shift. Although the idea of using
business strategies to tackle the world's social issues is a relatively
new concept, it is a concept that is gaining credibility and momentum
at a rapid pace. The Social Enterprise practice works with entrepreneurs to create a business plan that pulls from both social and business sector strengths. Our professionals help these unique Entrepreneurs determine which business model - for profit versus not-for-profit - would be most beneficial in realizing their vision. In addition, our consultants identify existing tools and systems that may be leveraged to advance the social business. Our deep philanthropic expertise coupled with our understanding of the business sector helps our clients seize opportunities that others may have missed.
