Abstract | |||||||||||||||
| “Whether or not organizations succeed in creating community wealth (i.e., resources generated through profitable enterprise to promote social change) depends on their ability to think in new ways about assets they may have previously taken for granted or not initially recognized as such.... It all begins by believing and understanding that you are worth more than you think.” —Bill Shore, The Cathedral Within Community Wealth Ventures is a consulting firm that assists: • Nonprofit organizations in becoming more self-sustainable by generating revenue through business ventures and corporate partnerships. • Corporations in improving the bottom line through the design and implementation of community investment strategies. As a for-profit subsidiary of Share Our Strength, a leading anti-hunger and antipoverty organization, Community Wealth Ventures demonstrates one approach to nonprofit sustainability. Community Wealth Ventures operates on the premise that every organization can increase its social impact by building on its internal assets, rather than relying on support from external organizations. | |||||||||||||||
