Today we’re celebrating the launch of Buy Social Canada's updated Guide to Social Enterprise! 🙌 Offering a holistic view of the social economy and the life stages of a social enterprise, the guide offers many practical examples of social enterprises activating diverse forms of capital (social, financial, cultural, etc) to thrive and build impact, and situates today's social entrepreneurs within the context of the long history and lineage of Indigenous entrepreneurs who've exchanged for mutual benefit and healthy, connected communities since time out of mind. We are delighted to have been able to contribute toward the collective effort of building this phenomenal resource, with content on Social Finance and Impact Measurement. Download the Guide to Social Enterprise and share it with your teams and networks to elevate understanding and appreciation for the social economy: https://hubs.la/Q02Pqlp_0 #socialenterprise #socialimpact #socialeconomy #impactmeasurement #imm #socialfinance #buysocialcanada
