Getting started with Bluesky for charities

New book on running social enterprises

John Pepin and Warren Tranquada have written a new reference guide giving practical tips on how non-profit organisations can build sustainable earned income.

“Succeeding with Social Enterprise” is a concise reference guide intended for non-profit organisations which are starting or already operating businesses which earn income. The book is divided into one-page sections, each with lists of tips on specific topics.

Areas covered in the 56-page booklet include most common types of business, reasons to create or buy a franchise, funding sources for social entrpreneurs, and criteria of venture philanthropy investors. The authors have intentionally kept their comments and advice concise: “it is not an academic paper”, says Pepin, “but rather a practical tool to be used on an ongoing basis.”
