To start of this week's forum discussion, please view the video embedded below:

Did you note the descriptors of "social", "cultural", or "societal "used by the presenter to describe the gap that nonprofit businesses fill? It is this focus on the needs of society that offsets the standard idea of for-profit entrepreneurship from that of social entrepreneurship business.

I am now asking you to be a social/nonprofit entrepreneur of sorts by critically discussing and evaluating the nonprofit you have chosen. Please see the instructions from the earlier assignment slide for this week.

Bring 4 or more questions or topics you would like clarification or feedback on from this group. Post these by Friday and responses will be posted back to you by Sunday.
