We believe that the marketplace has tremendous potential for positive social impact. We also believe that the traditional divide between the nonprofit and for-profit sectors hinders innovation. We’re thrilled to see how this divide is dissolving, opening new opportunities for projects and organizations that blend the best of both worlds. We’re proud to be working with initiatives that embrace new ways of thinking about capital and capitalism to make social change.

Enterprising Non-profits
Enterprising Non-Profits (enp) is a micro-granting program based in British Columbia, Canada. Enp provides matching grants of $3,000-$10,000 to nonprofit organizations to help cover business planning expenses related to the start-up of social enterprises. We’ve been so impressed by enp’s success in British Columbia that we’re replicating the program.
