Social Enterprise – A New Paradigm

 

What is a "social enterprise"?  

A social enterprise is any nonprofit business, venture, activity or strategy conducted for the purpose of generating earned income in support of a nonprofit's charitable mission.


What is a "social investor"?  

A social investor is an individual donor, foundation or corporate representative or philanthropic advisor who considers gifts of time, property or money not as mere charity, but an investment in sustainable social change.


Become a Social Investor rather than a Sponsor purchasing advertising and press releases:


Cause-related marketing : An agreement between a nonprofit and a for-profit business that allows the business to use the nonprofit's identity or image to increase sales with a portion of sale proceeds donated back to the nonprofit, e.g. Share Our Strength.


NanoNEWS.TV was organized as a Social Investment Enterprise to support Global Education through our strengths as a non-profit Division of The NanoTechnology Group Inc., to create a focus on collaborative efforts for Global Education, anytime, anywhere, any age.

 

We offer many services to the nanotechnology community without charge as our strength as a media outlet is our ability to inform and facilitate a platform that outputs targeted audience information in a positive manner on a daily basis.  Therefore, when you participate in cause-related marketing on our websites, your investment supports our continuation of the news and events that we publish for the nanotechnology focused audience.


There are many ways you can become a Social Enterprise Investor for NanoNEWS.TV services.  


Nanotechnology businesses that continuously take advantage of our Press Release services can become Social Investors by donating a percentage of their sales revenue for all the publicity they receive annually.

 

We Give Back Education Awards to participating Universities, Government Labs, Corporations  

Universities that conduct business with our Social Investor Sponsors will receive a small percentage of our Social Investor earnings as an award when they mention the promotions on our websites that created the desire to investigate the products and follow through with a purchase.
