Spark’s Social Enterprise Development Services
In addition to our regular pro bono matchmaking work,
Spark offers development services for non profit organizations exploring, developing, or currently operating social enterprises and revenue-generating activities.
So part of our work with you is to help increase your capacity to operate your social enterprise blending financial goals, with your mission for social, cultural or environmental impact. This supports the broader vision of the Canadian Community Economic Development Network: sustainable, equitable, and inclusive communities directing their own futures.
Together, we can explore how social enterprise might fit within your organization and create a stable and sustainable plan to move things forward.
