Purpose and Mission of Social Enterprise Toronto

Social Enterprise Toronto is a self-managed network of non-profit social enter prises and practitioners in funded through a combination of membership dues and grants from other sources.  

Founded in 2006, originally as the Social Purpose Enterprise Network of Toronto with a
primary purpose of providing a voice and strategies for non-profit social enterprises, Social Enterprise Toronto's mission is to support and grow non-profit social purpose enterprises.

In pursuing our Purpose and Mission, the Network defines a social enterprise as a non-profit organization that employs business methods and practices to find innovative solutions to social problems. These hybrid organizations function in the divide between traditional business and non-profit social agencies, harnessing the strengths of both.  The origins of social enterprise is found in Community Economic Development initiatives, and traditionally focuses on creating jobs or training opportunities for low-income or marginalized individuals.

Social enterprise is not just about non-profits organizations generating income, nor is it about private businesses trying to be socially responsible, but rather, it is an active, integrated approach to improving the lives of disadvantaged people through engagement in not-for-profit business initiatives. Furthermore, in the public discourses concerning social enterprise principles, the Network promotes the view that "accountability" includes both financial and social return on investment and, because of the social return on investment inherent in non-profit social enterprises, the term and definition of "sustainability" should not exclude continued public financial support for, and procurement from, non-profit social enterprises.
