About Us
It’s time to Rethink Ireland. It’s time to back big ideas and sustainable solutions. It’s time to create the inclusive Ireland we all want to be part of.
Who we are
As Ireland begins its journey of recovery from the crisis, now is the time to come together to build a country that is equal and focused on sustainable solutions.
By partnering with individuals, families and businesses, we identify the different charities and social enterprises working in communities across the country who are making real headway.
Our role is to support these big thinkers with the resources to share and nurture their ideas so that what proves to be effective in their local community has the opportunity to impact our whole country.
What we do
Rethink Ireland provides cash grants and business support to the social innovations who can make a real difference. Our task is to fuel these innovations with the knowledge and the advice they’ll need to succeed on a nationally impactful scale.
We’re here to open doors and give them access to the networks and connections who can help them spread their ideas throughout Ireland. We nurture communities of like-minded organisations who come together to share thoughts and approaches.
Based in Galway, Cork and Dublin, our staff are strategically located to hold events, seminars and Accelerator programmes to support social innovations across the country.
Our Vision
Our vision is an Ireland which is more just, equal and sustainable because of social innovation.
