Ubuntu Eats was a socially driven food business based in Alberta, Canada, founded in 2018. The company operated as a for-profit social enterprise that aimed to empower youth, particularly those facing employment barriers such as mental health challenges or disabilities, by providing paid employment and skills training in food production. While Ubuntu Eats had grown steadily, expanding its product offerings and reaching new retail and hospitality partners, the company remained unprofitable and was constrained in its ability to access philanthropic funding. As such, the founder was considering opening a non-profit arm of his company to allow for more flexibility in funding and achieving his social mission. He had to weigh the trade-offs between remaining a for-profit social enterprise, establishing a separate non-profit, and seeking charitable status for a hybrid model.
