The Social Stock Exchange (SSE) enables the listing of Non-profit organisations on the stock exchanges. It allows the social enterprises to raise funds for undertaking the activities of social objectives. The process of listing NPOs on the stock exchanges helps them raise funds by offering ZERO coupons Zero Principal Bonds, Mutual Funds and Social Venture Funds on the stock exchanges. The social enterprises working to eradicate hunger and poverty, promote healthcare, support education, gender equality, and environmental sustainability, and support incubators of social enterprises etc., are entitled to register themselves at the SSE. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
