Innovators Circle
Create Lasting Change That Matters
The Innovators Circle is a philanthropy membership circle for forward-thinking individuals and companies dedicated to supporting social innovation in Ireland.
Today, social innovators across the country are pioneering breakthrough solutions to our most pressing challenges. They’re creating sustainable jobs where employment seemed impossible, transforming waste into opportunity, and building bridges in divided communities. The Innovators Circle brings together visionary individuals who understand that supporting these innovations today shapes the society we’ll live in tomorrow.
Facilitated by Rethink Ireland, the Innovators Circle offers exclusive social impact and engagement opportunities for its members.
