Call for submissions: Ci Recommended Social Enterprises 2010

Charity Intelligence Canada is now receiving submissions for our 2010 review of Canadian Social Enterprises.Being a Ci Recommended Social Enterprise exposes your social enterprise to thousands of Canadian donors who are looking for different and meaningful ways to make a difference.  

 

“I don’t have the words but am overwhelmed with gratitude. These donors would never have heard of us if it were not for the work you do and the commitment you have for this meaningful work. Lives will be changed as a result.  Thank-you Ci!”  ~ Dion Oxford, Gateway Linens, Salvation Army.  Ci Recommended Social Enterprise 2009. All mission-centric, embedded social enterprises serving Canadians in need are eligible; that is, enterprises created to improve the lives of Canadians in need, through everyday business activities (see www.virtueventures.com for more). To be considered, please submit the following documents: 

• Charity registration number;
• Audited financial statements for the past three years;
• Social enterprise’s financial statements for the past three years, if different from audited statements (if, for example, SE is a project of a larger charity);
• Social impact reports - whatever your social enterprise uses to assess and communicate social value.  This may be, but is not limited to, outcome measures, SROI report cards, third party evaluations, strategic reviews, and reports prepared for funders.

Charity Intelligence (Ci) recommends social enterprises based on financial analysis, social impact analysis, and an assessment of the enterprise’s theory of change and management team.  We base our analysis on the material submitted to us, and on a one hour follow-up management interview.  Ci never issues a negative recommendation and never publishes the names of social enterprises that were not recommended.   Please contact Ci if you would like additional information. Sumbit materials to: kruff@charityintelligence.ca
