A contemporary alternative to grinds, a social business employing ex-offenders, and a zero-waste organic food co-op are just three of 40 social enterprises to be awarded €400,000 as part of our Social Enterprise Development Fund.
On Monday, October 5th, we announced the 40 Awardees of our Social Enterprise Development Fund; 16 enterprises will receive cash grants and business support, and a further 24 enterprises will receive strategic support to help expand their impact through our ‘Genesis Programme’.
The Social Enterprise Development Fund is a €3.2 million Fund being delivered from 2018 – 2022. The Fund was created by Rethink Ireland in partnership with Local Authorities Ireland and funded by IPB Insurance and the Department of Rural and Community Development through the Dormant Accounts Fund.
