What is a Social Enterprise?

Training the Next Generation of Social Entrepreneurs

Providing social enterprises with the skills and know-how to strengthen their organisations, scale their impact and enhance their financial sustainability is a key aspect of our support.

Alfanar's twelve module training programme, known as the Alfanar Sustainable Social Enterprise Training (ASSET), is delivered in full to all SEs within our portfolio as a core pillar of our venture philanthropy support.

We also work with corporates, foundations and ecosystem partners to provide ASSET training to social enterprises outside of our venture philanthropy portfolio who wish to grow their organisations, income and impact.

ASSET covers core topics including Theory of Change, Impact Modelling and Measurement, Financial Management and Business Planning.

Through Alfanar's training and mentorship, social enterprises can achieve 150+ key deliverables linked to best practice and good governance, including the development of vision, mission and values statements, logical frameworks, strategic plans, impact measurement systems, RACI matrices and policy handbooks.

ASSET modules include:

  • Introduction to Social Enterprise
  • Theory of Change
  • Internal Governance
  • Options for Scaling
  • Impact Modelling
  • Impact Measurement
  • Financial Management
  • Legal Structures
  • Communications for Results
  • Business Planning
  • Human Resources
  • Safeguarding
