This panel explores how social enterprises have moved beyond the traditional non-profit models, and the ongoing challenges and opportunities created by these next-generation financial models. The panel is comprised largely of mature enterprises that have each succeeded in very diverse industries by developing a unique financial model to pursue their social mission.

Thoughts: How do you face the financial realities of creating a stable social impact program without losing the mission that makes you a social enterprise? What opportunities and limitations can adopting a non-profit vs. for-profit social enterprise model offer an organization?
