Attorney General Regulation of Hybrid Entities as Charitable Trusts

Wexler, Robert A.

In which situations must, should or may state Attorneys General regulate the affairs of for- profit hybrid legal entities on the theory that they hold some or all of their assets in charitable trust? There is a movement afoot in the United States and around the globe – the social enterprise movement. Social enterprises are, generally speaking, organizations that generate revenues and also seek to benefit society in some way. According to the Social Enterprise Alliance, “[s]ocial enterprises are businesses whose primary purpose is the common good. They use the methods and disciplines of business and the power of the marketplace to advance their social, environmental and human justice agendas.” Some social enterprises are set up within the framework of a nonprofit corporation, but more and more for-profit corporations are being established to mix mission and profit.
