WHAT IS A SOCIAL PURPOSE ENTERPRISE?

“Businesses owned by non-profit organizations in order to generate income as well as address social, cultural or environmental needs.” source Social Enterprise Council of Canada.

Out of the Box Packaging Inc. (OOTB) is a Social Purpose Enterprise owned by Corbrook Awakening Abilities that was created to help decrease the funding pressures in the charity.  Revenues from OOTB go towards supporting Corbrook as well as providing employment opportunities for people with disabilities.

The support from OOTB has been invaluable to Corbrook enabling the charity. Corbrook is able to support an additional 500 people with developmental disabilities. Without the additional financial support from OOTB, people would be waiting for a funded spot to open up in the Organization.

Corbrook is dedicated to building upon the success that OOTB has already generated and ensuring this venture continues to enhance the quality of life for many more people who have a disability.
