Nonprofit organizations are vital to any community, but they may face difficulties finding funds. A meeting this week in Winter Park discusses new ways for these organizations to operate.
Although nonprofit organizations are vital to any community, they are relying increasingly on government funding and philanthropic donations, both of which are lessening. There are more than 1.4 million nonprofit organizations in the nation seeking funding, and as sources become fewer, organizations need to find another way to find the money they need to operate. One model that might work is social entrepreneurship.
Social entrepreneurship is generally understood as companies, often start-ups, working together to solve social issues. The model tends to focus on promoting common good, and solving community problems, rather than concentrating on profits. Flyer printing is often used to create handouts for events like this.
Dr. Mary Conway Dato-on is the moderator of the meeting. Dr. Dato-on is the George D. & Harriet W. Cornell Chair and Professor of International Business & Social Entrepreneurship at the Crummer Graduate School of Business, which is at Rollins College. Joining her for the discussion is social entrepreneur Kyle Christian Steele, who developed a coding program that later became Learn Jelly, a service that uses coding, art, and storytelling to help children improve their learning, thinking, and reading skills.
The talk is scheduled for 6:30 pm until 8:00 pm tonight, June 19, in classroom B20 of the Crummer Graduate School of Business. Admission is free.
