What is a social enterprise?
A social enterprise is a mission-based commercial activity by non-profits, which may include for-profit subsidiaries. It encompasses new forms of for-profit businesses launched to serve a social purpose. Social enterprises generate innovations that benefit humanity.

Why did St. Patrick Center establish Celtic Creative?
More than 30 non-profits and government agencies contacted us and asked for help, training and consulting on topics including one stop centers, programs, outcomes tracking, strategic planning, development, board enhancement, communications and videos. We wanted to share our expertise and knowledge. However, we had no system or organization in place to do this. Through Celtic Creative, we now have a team of specialists dedicated to helping non-profit and government agencies achieve their missions. 

Revenue raised from Celtic Creative goes directly to St. Patrick Center to help us achieve our mission of building permanent, positive change.
