Abstract
"Government resources and charitable donations cannot address the world's social problems by themselves. Government funding is becoming scarce and will never fully satisfy Canada's social and environmental needs. As a result, Canada’s charitable and non-profit sectors are significantly underfinanced and undercapitalized. Traditional philanthropists are limited in their capacity to meet this need, charities' investment accounts have been reduced, corporate and foundation philanthropy has regressed, and access to capital for non-profits is more limited than ever. What is Social Enterprise? A gap currently exists between government supported services and services rendered by the non-profit community."
