Hybrid Organizations, also called Social Enterprises or Social Ventures, are organized to include a for profit business with a non for profit entity. Hybrid corporations usually consist of a charitable organization that has established a related way to earn revenue. For example a company, Toms, sells shoes and for every shoe they sell they will send a pair to children in need in a different country.  So what is a hybrid organization?
