Mission Monday: For-Profit: Starting a Social Enterprise

Nonprofits aren’t the only mission-driven game in town. TOMS, Patagonia, Ben & Jerry’s, and thousands of other for-profit businesses have built consumer loyalty and financial success as social enterprises.

Social enterprises put their values and social mission at the heart of everything they do. We will debunk the myth that social enterprises can’t be profitable, share consumer trends that indicate positive growth for this sector, and guide you through starting to build your business idea around a social mission.
