What is a
Social Enterprise?
Social enterprises are businesses that use their profits to intentionally tackle social problems, improve communities, provide people access to employment and training, or help the environment. They combine the best of the for profit and non profit sectors to improve society without the need for donations. Social Enterprises take many different forms - L3C, 501c3, LLC - the one thing they all have in common is that they use their profit for good rather than private benefit.
