Thank you so much for this video!! You are so clear and organized in your exposition of the topic. I also love that you started with the definition!! Could you please make some videos advising books to read on changemakers around the world and the projects they did to help their community? I'd love to know more about other people's success stories to get inspiration. Thank you so much, Micol

Hi Micol, thank you so much for watching! I definitely have some success story videos coming out (I just posted one about how someone scaled their work nationally!). Great idea!

In RI we have a legal structure for a hybrid non and for profit called L3C. Not many states recognized this legal business structure.

[@AmberMelanieSmith]

[@YourVegasRealtor]

@@AmberMelanieSmith thank you!

[@ericarichardson2983]

I’m considering starting a social enterprise and have been struggling to bridge the gap between understanding in theory and practice. This video was incredibly helpful, the examples were just what I needed to fully grasp the potential structure. After watching I’m definitely leaning toward starting a non profit. Thank you!
I’d be really interested to hear more about how “with love L.A.” is able to balance being for and non profit.

[@AmberMelanieSmith]

Hey Erica, SO glad the video was helpful! Social Enterprise can be nuanced for sure!

[@rawfit12424]

Hi Amber! I've noticed your newsletter sign-up page does not have your social media links.. Great channel BTW!

[@AmberMelanieSmith]

Thanks for the heads up! They are in the video description too if that helps!

[@AmberMelanieSmith]

Thanks Daniel!

[@ninoh67]

Would you be able to recommend any resources for those interested in starting a social enterprise who have no prior knowledge?

[@AmberMelanieSmith]

Ashoka is a great resource: www.ashoka.org/en-us

[@riseujamaainc3757]

Interesting

[@AmberMelanieSmith]

I think so!

[@LanleMamoMEL]

👍🏼

[@terrie3740]

Can a nonprofit organization that operates only through government funding and private or community donations considered a social enterprise?

[@AmberMelanieSmith]

Most often social enterprise involves an earned income strategy. That might involve some government contracts. But I think it depends on whether the program is an innovative solution to a social issue.

[@DesiraiRenee]

Hi. I have a very interesting unique scenario. Would really like to talk to you if you’re available.

[@AmberMelanieSmith]
