ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:
This workshop will provide an opportunity to explore how a social enterprise or micro-business venture could help an organization increase mission impact and organizational sustainability. This session will help participants explore whether their nonprofit is a good fit for social enterprise and what profit generating opportunities might be appropriate for their organization. Participants will leave the workshop with a list of social enterprise ideas that could fit their organization and a process that they can implement with board and staff to help them move forward with a social enterprise opportunity.
About the Facilitator:
Community Wealth Ventures, Inc., was founded in 1997, as a for-profit subsidiary of Share Our Strength, one of the nation's leading anti-hunger and anti-poverty organizations. Since its founding in 1984, Share Our Strength has raised more than $100 million through publications, community wealth enterprises, licensing, sponsorship agreements and cause-related partnerships with corporations such as American Express, Barnes & Noble, Calphalon Cookware, Tyson Foods and Evian.
Share Our Strength launched CWV on the premise that every organization can increase its social impact by building on its own internal assets, rather than relying on support from external organizations. Click here to see the Harvard Business School case study on our founding.
Prior to joining Community Wealth Ventures, Nicole Hanrahan was the Executive Director of Regulatory Reform for the Governor of Illinois, where she made regulatory improvements for business, including speeding the turn around time for professional licenses by 400%.
Nicole has spent the majority of her career working in the nonprofit sector. After completing her MBA, she ran a workforce and small business development program to help urban entrepreneurs in the food industry and directed research and strategic planning for the Women’s Educational and Industrial Union, a 129-year old, Boston-based women’s economic development organization. Before business school, Nicole was the Director of Project Renewal’s Next Step Program, which helps homeless people in New York obtain education, training and jobs.
