 When I was at Eckerd College I repeatedly bumped into the concept of social enterprises. First, in a course called _Technology, Society, and The Environment_, then through meeting the CTO 
of a social enterprise, and finally by taking a course called _Social Entrepreneurship_. Each step along the way I fell more in love with the concept of social enterprises. However, I never 
felt like there was an easy way to connect to the world of social enterprises.

 Eventually, I set a Google Alert (https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/4815696?hl=en) for weekly digests of anything related to "social entrepreneurs." That worked okay but I still 
felt like I was missing out on something. Fast-forward a few years and I find myself heavily involved in a nonprofit called hackNY (https://hackny.org/), working at The New York Times, and 
having a stronger urge than ever to learn about social enterprises. As such, I've started compiling this list of resources to make it easy for people to connect with the world of social 
enterprises. See the FAQs at the bottom for some common questions.

A: To provide resources for people to dive into the world of social enterprises. To get people excited about social enterprises. To spread the word of social enterprises.
Q: What do you like about social enterprises? 
A: I love the idea of bringing the goodness of nonprofits and the efficiency of business together. Not all nonprofits are inefficient and not all businesses are bad. However, the potential of
unleashing the notoriously efficient business practices to maximize social impact is what I want to encourage people to explore.

Q: Why social enterprise instead of social entrepreneurship? 
A: I want to focus on the organizational structure rather than the individuals within an organization. Social entrepreneurship can mean anything from a large organization championing for 
social causes to a lone person doing community development. While both of those are important and valuable this is a resource geared towards people interested in the organizational side of 
things.

Q: How is a social enterprise different from a nonprofit? 
A: A social enterprise may be a nonprofit. While nonprofits are usually focused on social impact they may not be generating any revenue to fund themselves.
Q: Why not just add this information to Wikipedia? 
A: Wikipedia is meant to contain information that's encyclopedic in nature. Meaning, it should contain the most important and verified information in a well summarized form. This document is 
much more like a phone book trying to link out to relative resources that are useful.
