The 4th session of the 5 part workshops series, Building High Impact Organizations: Creating Financial Sustainability for Social Enterprises and Nonprofits, will focus on legal structures for social enterprises and nonprofit organizations.

This workshop will cover structures such as 501(c)(3), L3C, benefit corporations, B Corp certification, LLCs, and other corporate entities. With the knowledge of corporate structuring and the power of the market, attendees will be ready to create positive social and environmental change. This workshop includes a presentation providing an overview of all corporate structures available to social enterprises, and an interactive breakout session where attendees form mock corporations based on innovative business models.
