Come join us on Wednesday, November 11th at 7:30pm to learn about the challenges and successes of founding your own non-profit or social venture. Melissa Richer, Founder and Director of The Ayllu Initiative, will discuss her decision to move to Brazil and found The Ayllu Initiative, a non-profit that brings together mature social enterprises with local microfinance organizations to provide microfranchising in low-income markets: a high-impact market-based solution to poverty.
Over the past year, Melissa has navigated the process of gaining official 501(c)(3) status, gathering a core union of donors and supporters, working to build sustainable revenue streams, leveraging the talents of friends who have wanted to help, and working directly in an emerging economy where her initial contacts were limited. She will be sharing her experiences, successes and struggles of founding a sustainable social enterprise and offering advice to those seeking to do the same.
Space is limited. To attend, please RSVP to NYchatSeries@gmail.com.
After the Chat Series there will be an open networking session that anyone is welcome to attend and interact with others sharing a similar vision of founding a non-profit or social enterprise.
