Which of these do you think are the most vital or most useful in a non-profit organization? Why?
A social enterprise can be integrated with the non-profit organization in one of several ways:
Embedded:
- The enterprise and the social program are one and the same
- The business is created to serve clients (central to the mission)
Integrated:
- The business activities overlap with the social programs
- The business is created as a funding mechanism and to expand/enhance the mission of the organization
External:
- Social and business activities are separate and may or may not be related to the mission of the organization
- The business is created mainly as a funding mechanism to support social activities
