This course is designed for students who dream of starting their own enterprise (nonprofit, foundation, social-mission for-profit) to create social good. The course will begin with a history of philanthropy and the nonprofit sector in order to provide students with a framework for how their passions fit within a broader environment of giving and service. We will expose students to the governance structures available to social entrepreneurs so that they understand the trade-offs when choosing how to incorporate.

Foundation course required for all OEB graduate students along with the OEB Evolution Core Course. Graduate level topics covering ecology of individuals, population ecology, community ecology and ecosystem ecology.
