History Behind the Social Enterprise Gift Guide
The 2017 Social Enterprise Gift Guide is a prime opportunity to build awareness of social enterprises in Ontario, and increase the sales of your social enterprise. The 2017 Social Enterprise Gift Guide is a collaborative effort by the Canadian CED Network, Pillar Nonprofit Network and the Conseil de la Coopération de l'Ontario, with the support of the Ontario Social Economy Roundtable and funding from the Government of Ontario.
The Social Enterprise Gift Guide includes a broad range of products and is fully searchable by product type, price range, region and other categories. The Gift Guide is product focused, however service based enterprises are encouraged to feature available gift cards.
Social Enterprise: Business for Good
Social enterprises are nonprofit organizations, community groups, for-profit businesses and co-operatives that pursue social, cultural or environmental goals through the sale of goods and services.
Ontario has approximately 10,000 social enterprises that each employ, on average, 38 people and generate $1.2 million in revenue. Of the nonprofit social enterprises, 45% are focused on poverty reduction and many train and hire people with employment barriers.
