Social Entrepreneurship

Leveraging the power of business and innovation to solve social challenges

Overview

Eurasia Foundation leverages social entrepreneurship to support groups made vulnerable by economic or political exclusion. We provide technical assistance to individuals and institutions working on disability, employment, domestic violence prevention, and more. We work with governments to create laws that support flourishing social enterprises. By sharing expertise, building organizational capacity, and connecting communities on the ground, our programs support sustainable, locally led solutions to social challenges.

A roundtable discussion is taking place. Only eight of the people seated at the table are photographed. In the back section of the table are three men, and seated perpendicular to them are five women. The women occupy the right side of the photograph. The man photographed in the center of the three is talking to someone to his side not in the photograph. His hands are open-palmed. One crossed atop the other. Everyone around him is listening closely.
