What is Social Enterprise?
A Social Enterprise is a business that combines social impact with economic activity. Social enterprises seek to maximize profits while maximizing benefits to society and the environment. Their profits are principally used to fund social programs. These businesses are driven by a social/environmental mission and reinvest profits into creating positive social change.
