Which of these do you think are the most vital or most useful in a non-profit organization? Why?

A social enterprise can be integrated with the non-profit organization in one of several ways:

Embedded:

• The enterprise and the social program are one and the same
• The business is created to serve clients (central to the mission)

Integrated:

• The business activities overlap with the social programs
• The business is created as a funding mechanism and to expand/enhance the mission of the organization

External:

• Social and business activities are separate and may or may not be related to the mission of the organization
• The business is created mainly as a funding mechanism to support social activities
