Fresno Pacific University Center for Community Transformation Spark Tank EXPO

Social enterprises use business to transform communities, and four new ones will be announced at Spark Tank EXPO. Admission is free and the public is encouraged to attend, but registration is suggested. Among the premiums available, Hope Now for Youth will provide lunch for the first 150 people (paid for by the CCT). Awards will total $25,000 and the 2023 winners will share their models of addressing and solving problems through social enterprise. Each business successfully completed the CCT’s Social Enterprise Academy on a full scholarship from the Lilly Foundation. Spark Tank is the Valley’s only social enterprise event, boasting a start-up success rate double the national average, with 58% generating revenue three-plus years after start-up.
