At the intersection of 501(c)(3) and social enterprise

I have been delinquent in keeping this blog as updated as I like, but there are some exciting updates coming about the firm both in the next couple weeks and going into next year.

In the meantime, to make some gesture towards public service, I wanted to publish the materials I put together for a presentation I gave earlier today: “At the Intersection of 501(c)(3) and Social Enterprise: The Basics”. The presentation was for the exempt organization section of the Chicago Bar Association (great group of people with great questions!) and drew on some materials I’d put together in the past in collaboration with a former colleague, Jinna Kwak (many thanks to her for her assistance with it).

There’s some useful (and not useful) charts and information in there, all intended to reflect a bit on the Social Enterprise Sector, how to make sense of what it means, a process for determining what structure is the right one for a “social entrepreneur,” some time running through technical issues, and just a lot of rambling (and there was considerably more rambling by me over Zoom).

Anyway, if you’re interested, check it out here. And more information to come soon!
