Hybrid Organizations

Hybrid organizations are entities that blend elements of both for-profit and non-profit structures to achieve social, environmental, or financial goals. They operate like businesses by generating revenue, while also prioritizing a social mission, often aiming to address community issues or promote sustainability. This model allows them to attract investment and remain financially viable, while still committing to positive societal impact. Examples include social enterprises, cooperatives, and certain corporate social responsibility initiatives, which seek to maximize benefits for stakeholders beyond just shareholders.
