Empowering Redemptive Social Entrepreneurship

Profit-driven businesses can positively impact people by creating jobs, building capacity and driving economic growth but their primary motive is often the financial bottom line. A social enterprise has similar benefits but places a stronger emphasis on tackling complex problems for societal benefit. Varying percentages of their profit are redirected back into addressing community needs. In essence, while both profit-driven and social enterprises involve innovation, risk-taking, creating value and making profit, the key distinction lies in their primary motivations and social outcomes.
