Our core program...
...the Social Enterprise Academy, empowers participants to develop and launch a social enterprise: a for-profit business that helps to solve a social or environmental problem. The program, which consists of a series of workshops, mentoring and a venture capital competition, has been especially effective with leaders of nonprofit organizations who want to diversify their revenue sources.

building overall organizational capacity enabling not-for-profit organizations to increase their ability to serve clients and address pressing social problems;
enabling not-for-profit organizations to develop the skill sets and resources that will allow them to attract growth capital and increase revenue from earned, rather than donated income;
creating community-based change in the broader marketplace by promoting convergence between the best practices of business and philanthropy.
