Social Fusion

Social Fusion’s strength lies in focusing on three pillars critical to catalyzing and supporting business based social change. Social Fusion builds the networks that enable leading social entrepreneurs to build their enterprises within a collaborative community of innovation. We extend peer and industry knowledge through technology, and by translating learning into services and products that enable social ventures to more efficiently grow their businesses.

Social Fusion works to bridge investment and sustainable philanthropy by providing select social ventures with the capital access required to reach scale.

Institute for Social Entrepreneurs

The Institute for Social Entrepreneurs is a for-profit consulting company founded in 1999 by Jerr Boschee, who served for the previous eight years as President and CEO of The National Center for Social Entrepreneurs. Among the National Center’s major accomplishments during Boschee’s tenure were creation of The National Gathering for Social Entrepreneurs (now known as the Social Enterprise Alliance) and The Affirmative Business Alliance of North America (now known as the Americas Group of Workability International), the first two membership organizations for entrepreneurs in the field of social enterprise. Under his leadership, the National Center also mounted demonstration projects in nine cities that helped more than 60 nonprofits change their organizational cultures and begin adopting entrepreneurial strategies.
