Social Entrepreneurship… the 411

Jordy

We love the helping people understand the differences between charities, non-profits and social ventures. It is definitely a common misunderstanding and Rock Your Cause™ is caught right in the midst of all of the confusion so we get lots of questions about it.

In an effort to help clear things up, we created this document to help lay out the fundamentals of Social Entrepreneurship… the 411 if you will (side note: before watching the Parent Trap 500 times I had no idea what people meant when they said “411″… so I Googled it when i was 11 to clarify… one of my first Google searches).

Anyway, what I am getting at is… when you Google “Social Entrepreneurship,” the results are plentiful and who has time to scan through the details and decide what is important? Never fear! We have aggregated 4 years worth of university lecture notes and summarized it all onto one page. Read, share, hang on your bulletin board for inspiration, enjoy.

P.S. Rock Your Cause™ is a social venture. We are a business with some serious social objectives.
