Help Build WA’s Social Enterprise Map for 2019 and Beyond
The Social Enterprise Mapping Project will seek to understand the current and potential capacity of the social enterprise sector in WA for imperatives such as:
- Impact Investment
- Social procurement policy and enterprise accreditation
- Development potential and capacity building
- Measurement of the impact of the sector in the economy in terms of job creation potential and social/environmental outcomes
The project will also inform the creation of a WA Social Enterprise Council in conjunction with the Impact Investment Alliance of WA, launching in September 2019. The linkage of the Alliance and a new Council will create a link between funding sources and the sector, with the vision for the Social Enterprise Council being to:
- Promote and grow the social enterprise sector in Western Australia
- Provide a representative voice for the WA Social Enterprise sector
- Trusted advice and advocacy to Government
- Through IIWA affiliation, provide linkages between funders and sponsors including foundations, corporates, government agencies and the finance sector.
- Support participation, collaboration, innovation and co-investment into social enterprises and social innovation in Western Australia.
If you are a WA headquartered AND primarily WA-focused social enterprise, or a not for profit organisation looking to build a new social enterprise, then we would love to hear from you.
Please complete the submission below. The form takes 3-5 minutes to complete, and we really appreciate your considered responses for this important project. SUBMISSIONS CLOSE FRIDAY 23-AUGUST.
