SUMMARY:Be Social Change Class: The Modern Social Venture Business Plan
DESCRIPTION:Image: Centre for Social Innovation http://nyc.socialinnovation.org/\n Join Be Social Change on Monday July\, 28th for The Modern Social Venture with Mischa Byruck. \nA “business plan” traditionally refers to a lengthy\, bound\, and laminated document\, written before a business launches\, detailing its every element with charts and research and projections. But in today’s social venture environment business plans must constantly evolve\, and plenty of startups never write one at all. So what’s the deal? How should a social venture or nonprofit know if it needs a business plan? When is the document ready for presentation? How long should it be and what needs to go in it? In this class we will attempt to answer these questions without limiting ourselves to a single format\, instead relying on real-world examples and active class participation to convey core concepts. \nNote: This class has been designed for those interested in both for-profit social enterprises and nonprofits. \nWHAT YOU’LL LEARN: \n\nWhen and why change makers need to write business plans\nThe difference between a business plan and business planning\nHow to communicate social impact in a business plan\nThe topics that need to be included in a business plan\nSocial impact\nCompetitive analyses\nBusiness model\nFinancial projections\n\nWHO THIS CLASS IS FOR: \n\nIndividuals contemplating founding a social enterprise or nonprofit\nProfessionals who have an idea for a project\, organization or business that will drive social change\nFounders and senior management of existing nonprofits and/or social enterprises\nAnyone trying to raise money for a social sector organization

The weekends culminate with presentations in front of local entrepreneurial leaders with another opportunity for critical feedback. \nWhether entrepreneurs found companies\, find a co-founder\, meet someone new\, or learn a skill far outside their usual 9-to-5\, everyone is guaranteed to leave the event better prepared to navigate the chaotic but fun world of startups. If you want to put yourself in the shoes of an entrepreneur\, register now for the best weekend of your life! \n

SUMMARY:Religious Communities for Divestment and Reinvestment
DESCRIPTION:Religious communities everywhere are living out their call to protect Creation by organizing to divest their endowments and pension funds from fossil fuel holdings\, and reinvesting in a clean energy future. This group welcomes members of all faith traditions who want to learn more about how their congregations can mitigate the worst effects of climate change with a well-organized divestment and reinvestment strategy. \nThe June meetup was a great success\, with the best attendance of any yet! \nWe agreed that there would be two “asks” of group members for July: \n1. Review the materials available online for GreenFaith’s Divest & Reinvest Now! campaign:http://greenfaith.org/programs/divest-and-reinvest \n2. Work on a divest & reinvest “elevator pitch\,” i.e.\, your 2-3 minute verbal summary of why someone (from your own congregation\, for example) should support a divestment & reinvestment effort. We will try out our elevator pitches on each other!
