The Social Enterprise Dragons event is a special business case contest where three social enterprises pitch their key business opportunity or challenge to an expert panel. Prizes include the opportunity to work with JDQ Systems Inc. (leading business performance improvement consultants) to solve their enterprise challenge, a technical assistance grant of $2,500 from enp, and a $15,000 funding award from Vancity Community Foundation to implement solutions. They are calling on social enterprises to share their stories about key challenges/opportunities to be addressed within their organization and pitch why their business case merits a $15,000 funding award and/or technical assistance.

To apply for this opportunity, send a two page letter of intent telling us about your social enterprise, your key opportunity or challenge to be addressed, and why we should select your organization as one of three candidates in this event to Liz Lougheed Green by e-mail at elizabeth_green@vancity.com by February 10, 2011.
