This video series presented by the IFA's Social Sector Task Force introduces social sector franchising—an adaptation of the commercial franchise model used to scale social impact through replication. Whether you're part of a nonprofit, NGO, or another social impact enterprise, this course will help you understand how to build and manage a franchise system tailored to your goals. Each video pairs proven methods from commercial franchising with real-world examples from social sector organizations that are already using this model to expand sustainably and with integrity.
This course is ideal for social entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, development professionals, and anyone considering franchising as a tool for scaling impact. You'll gain foundational knowledge in critical areas such as setting standards, contracts, fee structures, territory selection, franchisee recruitment, and support systems—all essential to building a strong, values-aligned franchise network.
The Social Sector Task Force was established by the International Franchise Association as a platform to advance and leverage the use of commercial franchising methods and technology to serve the needs of the social franchising community.
