Social Enterprise Legal Structures: Which legal structure should we choose? is a free workshop offered as part of our INTEGRALIntros series of educational webinars on topics of interest to your nonprofit organization's management, board members, and staff.

Social enterprise is one option that nonprofits can turn to in order to remain sustainable. Enterprising nonprofits should understand that the restrictions around earning revenue and generating profit and the optimal legal structure for a social enterprise may vary widely depending on what legislation the organization is incorporated under, as well as the organization's strategy and circumstances.
