Social Enterprise Alliance

Building national and local social enterprise networks – With 1,000 members and 16 chapters across 42 states, Social Enterprise Alliance is the largest network of social entrepreneurs, social enterprise practitioners, supporters and enthusiasts in the United States. Social Enterprise Alliance's Summit is the most prominent social enterprise convening in the United States and has brought together leaders, practitioners and newcomers from the field since 1998. In between the Summit and chapter events, members of Social Enterprise Alliance can connect virtually by leveraging the Member Directory and Online Community to engage with peers, learn from colleagues and discover collaboration opportunities.
Raising awareness of social enterprise – Through national partnerships with organizations like America Forward, REDF, Catalyst Kitchens and Catholic Charities USA, Social Enterprise Alliance makes the case for social enterprise and works to create an ecosystem in which social enterprises can thrive. Social Enterprise Alliance gives members a national platform to raise awareness for their work by giving them access to an online social enterprise Job and Events Board and Marketplace. We promote their work through a robust Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and newsletter communications presence that advocates for member organizations and educates a broader audience about social enterprise.
Curating and sharing knowledge to build capacity – Through a variety of offerings including expert webinars, our online Knowledge Center and a members-only curated newsletter, Social Enterprise Alliance is the go-to source for the intellectual capital which fuels social enterprise.
