Abstract

The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on social entrepreneurship are unexplored at this time. However, recent literature argues that social entrepreneurship is a critical tool for addressing issues both created and exacerbated from this virus. As such, this article aims to answer the question: What considerations should be made when examining the impact of COVID-19 on the social enterprise sector? This paper argues that close attention must be paid to social enterprise: (1) financial performance, challenges, and opportunities, (2) geographic location and its influences on opportunities or obstacles, and (3) resilience strategies employed to address issues caused or exacerbated by COVID-19.
