| Sumario: | Social enterprise provides an avenue for small not-for-profit human service organizations (NPHSOs) to generate a consistent form of revenue. It employs a profitable business model to create a product/service operated by an NPHSO entity where profits further the mission. Current changes in overall giving make a new form of revenue generation crucial for NPHSOs both large and small, particularly as giving has morphed recently due to political changes and generational shifts. This Guest Editorial briefly introduces two forms of social enterprise, then notes the benefits related to each. It addresses items to consider when implementing social enterprise including tax implications and marketing. We offer design strategies to consider when implementing a successful social enterprise endeavor in the human service sector. Lastly, we note how to avoid the "white savior" trap concerning the advancement of BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and Persons of Color) communities.
