NESsT Report 2000 - 2005:

From Small Idea to Large-scale Impact

NESsT has worked for nearly a decade to advance a global social enterprise movement. This report highlights some of our key accomplishments over the past five years to demonstrate a new paradigm of philanthropic investment that strengthens the financial sustainability and mission impact of civil society organizations (CSOs) around the world.

"NESsT is demonstrating how social enterprises can create capacity, generate new sources of income, and further the mission impact of CSOs around the world."

- Bruce Sievers, Chair,

NESsT Board

of Directors


NESsT has leveraged more than US$2.2million since 2000 from donors and from our own self-financing activities to achieve our vision. We have provided financing and/or capacity-building to over 800 CSOs from 30 countries, helping enable them to plan for and/or start up social enterprises. This critical support has allowed them to increase their institutional capacity, diversify their funding base, and increase their social change impact.
