Successful social enterprises are operating all across Manitoba. Whether subsidized or self-funding, these initiatives combine business methods with a drive to better the world. They take a triple bottom line approach, blending financial goals with a mission for social, economic, or environmental impact. Social enterprise is an effective way your organization can work towards financial stability while still feeling connected to your larger purpose.
Join us for this two hour overview of what social enterprise is (and isn’t), how it can contribute to your organization's financial stability, and how to get one off the ground.
We encourage you to participate in the entire Inclusive Economy Learning Series!

This is part three in the Manitoba Inclusive Economy Learning Series.
Are you working to strengthen your local community here in Manitoba? Do you envision a more inclusive economic system in our province? Want to connect with others to dream and build more sustainable communities and fairer economies?
The ideas and practices of Community Economic Development (CED) are ready to meet the moment we’re in. CED addresses poverty, it builds climate resilience, and it contributes to a more inclusive economy.
But, to make CED happen we need to:
- Learn together and share best practices, models, and stories, building up our collective understanding of building a more inclusive Manitoba economy
- Build capacity and connect together to strengthen advocacy work
If you’re passionate about the concept and helping the build local economies that strengthen communities and benefit everyone, you are invited to join - whether you're just learning about this work, or are already involved in local community organizing and CED work.
This series is designed to strengthen the work of CCEDNet members, but is open to non-members who are interested in the topic. To join CCEDNet or to find out more about our barrier-free membership policy, click here.
