Journal of Social Entrepreneurship, 2025, vol. 16, issue 2, 623-646

Abstract: The evidence of the effectiveness of public support aimed at social enterprises is limited and rare. This paper explores the impact of government public support offered to social enterprises. The empirical research focussed on the case of Poland. Individual In-depth Interviews have been used to explore opinions on public support of social enterprises. Ten interviews were organised, covering two groups: social entrepreneurs and stakeholders’ social economy sector. The study contributes to social enterprise theory and the literature on public policy implementation by identifying factors limiting the effectiveness of government support for social enterprises.
