Social Entrepreneurship

Sundance Family Foundation defines Social Entrepreneurship as a transformative program that shifts behavior patterns and perceptions on a systemic level. These programs should:

• Identify and apply practical solutions to social problems by combining new methods, resourcefulness and opportunity for the benefit of families and the community;

• Create a new product, service or approach that has a significant impact on a prevailing systemic problem;

• Collaborate with existing resources in ways that bring energy and solutions to community and family challenges;

• Focus on the sharing and replicating of successful Social Entrepreneurship practices.

At best, Social Entrepreneurship puts poverty out of business.
