Entrepreneurship Impact Fund – Strand 3: Minority Entrepreneurship Fund
March 21
The Entrepreneurship Impact Fund 2023-2026 is a three-year fund, supported by a private donor, which aims to have impact across three strands:
- Strand 1: The Social Innovation Growth and Scaling Fund (launched November 2023)
- Strand 2: Youth Entrepreneurship Incubators (launched December 2024)
- Strand 3: The Minority Entrepreneurship Fund (launched January 2025)
This open call covers Strand 3, worth a total of €900,000, and is open for applications via the online portal from the 15th of January 2025 to the 21st March 2025.
Ireland faces continuing critical social issues across health, education, equality, and the green transition sectors. One of the key problems confronting social enterprises is the difficulty of scaling their operations and social impact. Insufficient funding in terms of both scale and duration to align with their aspirations, as well as a shortage of suitable capacity-building supports are key barriers.
The Entrepreneurship Impact Fund’s Strand 3 is a unique opportunity for 5 minority-led social enterprises, taking an entrepreneurial approach to social change, to get support to deliver sustained individual and collective solutions across communities over a three year period and beyond.
Deadline: 21st March 2025
