Request for proposals: Becoming a Social Entrepreneur in Canada

New grant from the Human Resources and Social Development/Ressources humaines et développement social.

Looking for projects is aimed at enhancing our understanding of the meaning of social entrepreneurship, the context and environment in which it emerges and sustains itself, and its impact on the capacity of communities to respond to local social needs, service delivery and the achievement of major community goals.

The project will inform policy development on how to foster new and innovative ways to meet the needs of Canadians in communities across Canada.

You are invited to submit proposals under this RFP. The deadline for the submission of proposals is August 15, 2006.
