Faithful Innovation, PCUSA: www.pcusa.org/innovation – Several helpful resources related to social enterprise including:

  • Good Futures Accelerator from our partnership with Rooted Good for PCUSA related NWCs and Congregations and Mid Councils at reduced PCUSA rate.  This is a self-administered, gamified discernment process all about helping a team develop clarity, consensus, and courage to develop thoughtful social enterprise.  You may already know about it.
  • How to Develop Well – for housing/mixed economy development on church property–related enterprises.
  • How to Rent Well – for mutually beneficial partnerships involved in leasing/renting
  • What About Taxes? – when mid councils, NWCs, congregations generate revenue beyond donations, a guide to structuring taxes to protect 501c3 status AND generate revenue broadly.

The Hatch Deck: https://ministrydownloads.com/product/the-hatch-deck/
This deck contains over 100 beautifully designed profiles of faith-friendly social enterprises that innovators like you have “Hatched!” The profile cards represent industries as diverse as fishing, geo-mapping, real estate investment, and tattoo parlors! Each card features a different social enterprise, how it was founded, what it does, and how it engages with larger social issues and faith.
