Did you know that we are a social Enterprise?
But what does that mean exactly??🤷🏼‍♀️

👩🏼‍🏫. A social enterprise is a mission-driven business that reinvests most of its profits to solve social, cultural, or environmental challenges rather than maximizing profit for shareholders. These organizations generate revenue through goods and services while creating community benefit, such as employment training or environmental sustainability.

🤗They are purpose-Driven: The primary goal is to address a social, environmental, or community problem.

🎁 Revenue Generation: They sell products or services, with a significant portion (often 50% or more) of revenue generated through trade, rather than relying solely on donations.

💰Profit Reinvestment: Profits are primarily reinvested back into the social mission, rather than being distributed to owners or shareholders.
Flexible Structure: They can be non-profit, for-profit, or cooperatives.
If you want to learn more, the Pond-Deshpande Centre is sharing on Monday all about Social Enterprise in NB. ❤️ 🙋🏼‍♀️

📢 Next Lunch and Learn, coming up!

📆March 23th, 12pm-12:30pm

Social enterprises are a growing model that combines business revenue with social impact. They respond to real community needs like housing, jobs, environment, inclusion, while building sustainable business models. This session is ideal for people working in non-profit, education, economic development, government, business, or community leadership.

You’ll learn:
✅ What defines a social enterprise (and what doesn’t)
✅ Why the model matters now in New Brunswick
✅ Funding and financing realities in the province
✅ Building a strong capital stack (grants, loans, investment, procurement, community financing)
