In our effort to spur more innovation in our sector, Forefront created a Social Enterprise Roundtable comprised of funders, social entrepreneurs, universities, incubators, businesses and others to discuss the current state of social enterprise in Illinois and how we might better align those organizations with the funding and resources they need to succeed.

What we learned from those discussions is that we need more information about existing social enterprises, their nonprofit parent organizations, and the challenges they face in growing their enterprises and their impact. To solicit that information, we’re working with Chicago-based nonprofit Delta Institute to administer a survey of Illinois-based social enterprises.

As a valuable partner of Forefront’s, I am reaching out to you today to ask for your help in sharing the survey with social enterprises in your network or nonprofit organizations that have launched social enterprises.

Access the online survey here; please respond by Mon., Feb. 29. All survey respondents will be entered into a raffle to win a $250 Amazon gift card.

I appreciate your help in distributing this survey to any organizations in your network that are involved in the social enterprise sector. Together, we can build a more vibrant and diverse social impact sector.

If you have any questions about the survey or the project, you can contact Eve Pytel at Delta Institute at [email protected] or 312-554-0900.
