Definitions - Social Entrepreneur / Enterprise / Venture Philanthropy
Social enterprise makes a difference by matching supply with need.
by Dr Meena Galliara - Narsee Monjee Institute of Management & Higher Studies (NMIMS)
Social enterprise is profitable business run by community, for the community and profit & loss must be shared to community.
by Prema Gopalan - Swayam Shikshan Prayog (SSP)
Social enterprise is a for-profit entity setup with a mission to solve a social problem with a clear business and revenue model around the solution. A person who starts a social enterprise is a Social Entrepreneur.
by Surya Prakash Loonker - CATALYST - Social Development Consultants P Ltd (CSDC)
Venture Philanthropy is venture capital investments in social enterprises.
by Surya Prakash Loonker - CATALYST - Social Development Consultants P Ltd (CSDC)
Venture Philanthropy is an adventurous approach to funding unpopular social causes.
by John D Rockefeller III in 1969 in a hearing before the US congressional committee leading to the Tax Reform Act
Social Enterprise
GoodTree is not a charity. GoodTree is a Social Enterprise that seeks to do well in business AND do good for the world. Using the words of author J. Gregory Dees, we aspire to combine "the passion of a social mission with business-like discipline, innovation, and determination." We maintain the balance between social mission and business goals by creating self-sustaining companies made up of people who truly care, and by developing businesses that tap into a spirit of virtuous circles where everyone wins.
