''Hybrid Structuring'' refers to OSE's assumption that a minimum level of organizational structure, process, and execution ability is required to make our organization effective. This is an initial strategy for structuring the OSE social enterprise hybrid organization to achieve: (1), rapid development of GVCS technologies; (2), $80k/month boot-srapping production funding, and (3) access to $1M/year levels of grants via the nonprofit sector. We are sending this brief for review by a board of business structuring, strategic development, and nonprofit sector professionals.
We are developing a hybrid for-profit/non-profit organization. The non-profit entity will focus on delivering charitable programming to the world community, and the for-profit entity will generate profits and donate them back to the non-profit in order to further the mission of the overall organization.


This is a development roadmap for the next 6 months, and we are soliciting review of this plan from advisers. Our priorities are to develop a lean organization - minimizing administration costs and overhead and maximizing the funding that is delivered to our programs.

Abstract

We are developing a hybrid for-profit/non-profit organization. The non-profit entity will focus on delivering charitable programming to the world community, and the for-profit entity will generate profits and donate them back to the non-profit in order to further the mission of the overall organization.

This is a development roadmap for the next 6 months, and we are soliciting review of this plan from advisers. Our priorities are to develop a lean organization - minimizing administration costs and overhead and maximizing the funding that is delivered to our programs.
