Social Sector Evolution Best Practices

Social Innovations Labs White Paper

Abstract

The social sector in the United States has a rich history of connecting communities and individuals with vital resources to combat many of the day’s most crushing social issues. Amidst today’s increasingly competitive funding landscape and regulatory hurdles, however; the sustainability of nonprofits as the beacons of effecting social change is often challenged. To ensure the social sector’s viability, a new model of business development has emerged, combining both social impact with financial accountability and inspiring sustainable enterprises capable of remedying many social ills while growing in both scope and scalability.
