CISED Social Enterprise Breakfasts

The number of organizations looking to start up social enterprises in Ottawa
is growing, as are the number of opportunities to co-produce, co-market, and
increase the visibility of the sector as a whole. CISED
<http://www.cised.ca> Social Enterprise Breakfasts are monthly events aimed
at building this network of social enterprises in Ottawa, and sharing
innovative techniques to help social enterprises succeed.

Crowdfunding

This month Paul Dombowsky from Ideavibes <http://www.ideavibes.com/>  and
FundChange  <http://www.fundchange.com/> will be speaking about how you can
crowdfund your social enterprise. He will talk about the five big
crowdfunding sites, present best practices, detail how you should present
your business idea, and share success stories.  

The Ottawa Community Loan Fund <http://www.oclf.org/>  will also be
presenting information about their new Pathways to Sustainability Fund.
This fund will be providing four small grants to organizations looking to
start up or expand their social enterprise.  Organizations will need to show
matching funds and will be encouraged to consider crowdfunding a portion of
their matching dollars.

The breakfast will close with a short discussion where organizations can
share ideas on how they might use crowdfunding as a tool, and increase the
overall visibility of crowdfunded social enterprise projects.

Paul Dombowsky - Founder and CEO of Ideavibes

Paul has more than 10 years of marketing experience and a wealth of
knowledge about crowdfunding and crowdsourcing.  He recently launched
Canada's first crowdfunding destination site for charities,
www.fundchange.com <http://www.fundchange.com/> , which is a project of his
start-up Ideavibes <http://www.ideavibes.com/> .

Alterna Savings in Collaboration with the Ottawa Chamber of Voluntary
Organizations invite you to join in this FREE session:

Applied Lessons in Social Entrepreneurship with Heather Crosbie, Principal
in Innovaction Consulting Inc.

Learn some of the lessons of social entrepreneurship through the story of
Travel CUTS and then work through a case study to practice applying those
lessons. Plus, receive strategic-planning, mentoring and capacity building
for your new or existing social enterprises or social purpose businesses.

Heather's career uniquely positions her to bridge the for-profit and
non-profit sectors. In 1986 she founded her own social purpose business,
Keystone Products for Independent Living. She then led a large Canadian
social purpose business success story as Canadian President of Canadian
Universities Travel Service Ltd. Travel CUTS was founded in 1974 and owned
by a non-profit association, the Canadian Federation of Students, until the
company's sale in late 2009. Heather has an MBA from The Richard Ivy School
of Business and an undergraduate degree in psychology from McGill
University.
