Applications are now being invited under the ARISE Scheme 2021.
The purpose of the Awareness Raising Initiative for Social Enterprise (ARISE) scheme will be to provide funding to social enterprises and their support and network organisations to carry out awareness raising initiatives that will increase awareness of social enterprises and their potential, in line with the Awareness Raising Strategy. Funding for this scheme will be provided from the Dormant Accounts Fund.
The scheme provides funding under two strands:
- Strand One will be aimed at individual social enterprises. It is envisaged that they will tell their story and highlight how their social enterprise is improving people’s lives.
- Strand Two will be aimed at Social Enterprise Network and Support organisations to deliver more general or sectoral messages on what social enterprises are, and their potential to deliver sustainable and inclusive development and recovery.
Applicants must be emailed to arise@drcd.gov.ie by 5pm on 20 October 2021.
