REDF, formerly known as the Roberts Enterprise Development Fund, based in San Francisco (USA) has produced this paper from over 10 years of REDF's experiences mixing business practices with social mission. This paper considers some central issues when considering whether to choose a not-for-profit or a for-profit structure.
