The Social Enterprise Start-up Fund is an €800,000 Fund delivered over two years: 2021 – 2022. The Fund was created by Rethink Ireland in partnership with the Department of Rural and Community Development via the Dormant Accounts Fund.
The Department of Rural and Community Development was established in 2017 to provide a renewed and consolidated focus on rural and community development in Ireland.
