Social Enterprise or Social Purpose Support

We are fostering the growth and development of social enterprises in the county.

Social enterprises play a critical role in supporting community impact organizations and driving social change. By blending business strategies with a mission-driven approach, social enterprises provide sustainable solutions that help communities thrive. These enterprises can be powerful partners for non-profits, charities, and other social initiatives, helping to expand reach, improve financial stability, and increase overall impact.

Are you currently operating a Social Enterprise or are interested in creating one?

We provide one-on-one support and a variety of resources to help your social enterprise vision:

  • Capacity building initiatives: Business coaching, financial literacy, social impact measurement and grant identification.
  • Connect: Facilitate networking and partnerships, connecting social enterprises with businesses, governments, and non-profit organizations to collaborate and expand their reach.

What is a social enterprise or social purpose organization?

According to the Government of Canada, social enterprises are helping to build Canada’s economy while addressing challenges in communities across the country. These businesses, whether not-for-profit or for-profit, pursue a social, cultural or environmental mission and re-invest profits to maximize that mission. There is a broader category of organizations, referred to as Social purpose organizations, (SPOs), that more generally have a mission to advance social or environmental objectives.

Our Partner

The Sobey Foundation Community Compass+ programming is dedicated to increasing the capacity of the community impact sector.

This new, innovative program has been created to support Community Impact Organizations (non-profits and not-for-profits) in accessing vital resources and ultimately strengthen their impact within the County. Our purpose is to help these organizations become more financially resilient to do what they do best - support our communities here in Pictou County.
