With more and more charities starting up side-hustles like online merchandise stores, coffee carts, book shops and even gyms, the conversations around NFPs-turned-social enterprises are taking centre stage, as more and more charities further shape their brand personality with new ventures and ideas - resulting in their causes gaining more attention and traction. This webinar will explore our top ways you can create new revenue streams for your organisation.
