Check out our expanding list of resources for social entrepreneurs requiring Assistance and Support.
Funding and Financing
One common challenge of launching any enterprise is accessing enough money to get started. This can be a partiular challenge when the new venture is aimed at achieving social and environmental objectives rather than strictly making a profit. There are many options available to the social entrepreneur however - all that is required is a little searching.
There are a wide range of awards and prizes for social entrepreneurs to help them get started. There are also financing and funding programs which provide start-up and operational funds for social and environmental enterprises.
Case Studies
There is a lot to be learned from other social and environmental entrepreneurs. Case studies are a great way to see how others have done it and discover what works and what doesn't.
