Art for Good, as a social enterprise under RAISE, embodies the essence of combining creativity with purpose. Its mission likely aligns with leveraging the arts to address social issues, promote well-being, and create a meaningful impact in communities. Social enterprises like this aim to sustain themselves financially while channeling profits into programs that drive positive social change.

While Social Enterprises need not necessarily be non-profit, most start ups usually operate in such a fashion. Art for Good is in the start up stage and it will be some time before it can attain sustainability and profitability. Ultimately, if the social enterprise can be profitable, it will mean that the work they do is self sustaining, which is a desired outcome for any organisation.

We believe in enabling and empowering, we work with our artists and beneficiaries in partnership.
