ENP – Toronto (short for Enterprising Non-Profits – Toronto) has been launched to seed and support social enterprise among third sector groups in our city – and the Wellesley Institute is delighted to be a partner in this important work.

ENP – Toronto is a project of the Centre for Social Innovation and B.C.-based  Enterprising Non-Profits.

Social Enterprises are businesses operated by non-profits, with the dual puprose of generating income by selling a product or service in the marketplace and creating a social, environmental or cultural value.

ENP-Toronto is a partnership of 12 foundations and business organizations that promotes and supports social enterprise development and growth as a means to build strong non-profit organizations and healthier communities.

The first orientation session drew a capacity crowd of 42 participants from a wide variety of organizations. To learn more, or sign up to attend a future orientation session – log onto the ENP-Toronto web site.
