What if your nonprofit could generate its own revenue—without compromising its mission?

At Impact Hatchery, we guide nonprofits in the design and launch of social enterprises—mission-aligned ventures that generate earned income and drive long-term sustainability.

Whether you are facing budget shortfalls or seeking greater financial independence, we offer a proven readiness framework to help you assess, plan, and act with clarity.

Social enterprise is not a trend—it is a transformation.

Is Your Organization Ready for Social Enterprise?

Many nonprofits face growing pressure to diversify revenue and reduce dependence on grants or donations. Social enterprise offers a powerful path forward—but not every organization is equally prepared to make the leap.

At Impact Hatchery, we guide mission-driven organizations through a proven readiness framework to help determine if integrating earned income into your model is the right next step

If you are exploring new ways to close funding gaps and deepen your mission impact, consider the following questions:

• Is there a part of our work that could generate revenue while staying true to our mission?

• What needs do we hear repeatedly from our clients or community that are going unmet—and could we meet them in a way people would pay for?

• Do we have people on our team (or in our network) who are entrepreneurial or eager to test new ideas?

• Can we take a small, calculated risk in service of something bigger—and do we have the financial flexibility to try?

• How clearly can we explain the impact we make—and how might a new earned-income venture build on that impact?

• Are we already collaborating with businesses or other nonprofits in ways that could grow into something more?

• Is our board or leadership team open to innovation—even if it means stretching beyond traditional nonprofit models?

If these questions resonate with you, you are not alone.

Many nonprofit leaders are beginning to explore earned income as a path to resilience—not replacement. At Impact Hatchery, we help you assess what is possible, build internal alignment, and take the first steps with confidence.
