Leave A Legacy© hosts some of the nation’s top thought leaders at a Leadership Forum on Social Entrepreneurship, geared to helping local charities explore entrepreneurial strategies to improve their effectiveness and bottom line, from noon to 6 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 16 at Akerman Senterfitt, One SE Third Ave., 25th Floor.

The half-day leadership seminar will examine how non-profits can adopt the philosophies of successful social entrepreneurs to transform their organizations and how they serve the community.

Non-profit leaders in South Florida contend the different approach will ensure the success and growth of more community organizations. In the past year, the number of non-profit groups in Florida doubled. Their success is critical to the community’s ability to overcome recent economic challenges.

“About 76% of all revenues generated by non-profits come from program services. This means non-profit leaders should, and in many cases, need to change their approach and adopt entrepreneurial and innovative business strategies to thrive, and even to survive,” said Glenn Kaufhold, chair of Philanthropy Miami, and president of GKollaborative, consultants to non-profits.

The Leadership Forum is part of Leave A Legacy’s Philanthropy Miami, a two-part conference on successful trends and practices in non-profit management. The second part of the conference is planned for Tuesday, March 20 at Jungle Island, 1111 Parrot Jungle Trail in Miami. It features two separate tracks: Fundraising Basics, an intensive overview for those new to development and Toolkits, geared to those who have more experience in the field. Toolkits will showcase strategies non-profits can use to increase their donations and the number of ongoing supporters.

Philanthropy Miami is sponsored by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation; SunTrust Foundations and Endowments Specialty Practice; Baptist Health South Florida Foundation; United Way of Miami-Dade; and Wells Fargo.
