Should our nonprofit get into the business of earning money? Do we have the expertise and capacity to sell any products or services? What kind of business activities would make sense for us? Will this help us diversify our funding?
This interactive workshop addresses these and other questions about social enterprises, also known as nonprofit ventures, earned income projects, and social businesses. This session will include case studies of social enterprisers who have developed successful (and not so successful) social enterprises, provide an overview of best practices, and will include an exercise to help you determine whether social enterprise makes sense for your organization.
This session will also deliver some of the “nuts and bolts” of how to “do” social enterprises/earned income activities. We will discuss where to look for good venture ideas, how to test feasibility, and how to do “just enough” business planning to launch a social enterprise. Come prepared to learn how to apply this to your organization, when to say “yes” and when to say “no” to suggestions to grow earned income in your nonprofit. Be prepared to roll up your sleeves!
This workshop is made possible by the Lake Superior Initiative.
