Nonprofit Consultants Network presents:

Social Enterprise : Enhancing the Mission , Generating Revenue

Increasingly, nonprofit organizations are advancing their missions through a variety of business ventures. These organizations seek to diversify their revenue streams in order to achieve sustainability. For example, museums expand their merchandising business; public radio stations promote vehicle donation programs; community-based organizations manage catering businesses, laundromats, or revolving loan funds. “Social entrepreneurship” is a trend that is catching the eye of nonprofit leaders. Some of these activities have a clear fit with the organizations’ missions. Other activities have only a peripheral connection to the mission and pose a variety of risks. Our program will feature researchers and practitioners in the social entrepreneurship arena who will share their successes and lessons learned.

Come join us on Thursday, May 24th, 2:30 – 4:30 PM at the offices of The Philanthropic Initiative, 160 Federal Street , Boston . Learn what is happening here and around the country, and participate in a lively discussion.

A detailed agenda and list of speakers will follow in the coming weeks. A nominal fee of $10 will be charged to defray refreshment and other costs.

The Nonprofit Consultants Network was formerly the Network of Consultants for Excellence in Nonprofits. NCN’s new name and activities will be featured on a new website to be launched soon.
