Libro Social Enterprise Workshop Series Session 4: Legal Structures & Governance for Social Good

Libro Social Enterprise Workshop Series

Start Here: Your Launchpad for Doing Good—Sustainably

What does it take to build a business that does good—and works?
Whether you’re just starting out or refining a growing idea, this 8-part workshop series offers the tools, strategies, and support to help you navigate the exciting (and often messy) world of social enterprise.

Brought to you by Pillar Nonprofit Network and sponsored by Libro Credit Union, these hybrid workshops are free to attend thanks to Libro’s commitment to building a thriving impact economy. Join us at Innovation Works, 201 King Street, London, or tune in online. Attend one session or all eight—it’s up to you.

This is not a business incubator. This is your launchpad.

You’ll get:

  • Real-world tools you can start using right away

  • Between-the-sessions challenges to apply what you learn

  • A clearer vision of how your mission and market can align

  • Encouragement and community for the journey ahead

Whether you’re testing an idea, building momentum, or just trying to make sense of it all, this series is here to help you move forward—with confidence.

 

 Session 4: Legal Structures & Governance for Social Good


Date: July 7 2025
Time: 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM
Location: Innovation Works & Online (Hybrid)

Choose your structure wisely.
Don’t let legal and governance decisions come back to bite you. In this session, we demystify your options and help you align your structure with your mission, funding needs, and long-term goals.

You’ll walk away with:

  • A clearer understanding of your legal structure options (nonprofit, coop, B Corp, hybrid, etc.)

  • Insight into how your structure affects your ability to raise money and grow

  • Governance models that support accountability and mission alignment

  • Tools to help you build your org’s scaffolding—without getting overwhelmed

This session is for you if:
You’re still figuring out how to “house” your idea—or you want to switch models and need help deciding what works best.
