The Topic
A common misconception within the not-for-profit (NFP) sector is that a NFP cannot undertake a commercial venture, lest it be seen to be operating outside of its objects. Not only is this a misunderstanding of the law, but it also means that many NFPs are missing out on opportunities to become more financially viable and to protect their future sustainability.
Today, we are seeing increased attention being placed on social enterprises to drive social change and promote innovation in the NFP sector. This presentation aims to provide NFPs with an understanding of the various legal structures available to social enterprises, as well as alternative ways of undertaking commercial activities within the existing legal structure of the NFP. The presentation will also explore the challenges and risks that arise for social enterprises and NFPs undertaking commercial activities.
