Join FEE and GCEE for a Dinner & Discourse conversation hosted at Café Momentum Atlanta, a nonprofit restaurant with a powerful model for transforming lives through work, training, and hospitality. This evening explores a core economic question: can the drive to earn profits generate social good—and if so, why do nonprofits still matter? 

We’ll compare how different organizations make decisions, including small and large firms, nonprofit organizations, and other institutions, and how their goals, rules, and constraints shape the incentives, benefits, and costs faced by workers, customers, and communities. Participants will examine entrepreneurship as the process of combining resources in new ways, the role of profit as a reward for risk-taking, and how ethical or social aims can influence decisions even inside profit-seeking firms. Expect a thoughtful, respectful dialogue that challenges assumptions about “profit vs. purpose” and highlights what Café Momentum uniquely reveals about markets, mission, and human flourishing.

Audience:  Teachers, Grades 6-12
