Our Funds
Our social problems are real, so require real investment.
We fund and support social innovations in 4 key areas.
Our Social Innovation Fund: Our fund is what’s called a match fund. That means that every euro we raise from philanthropists, who want to create a better society in Ireland, is matched by a euro from the Irish Government. This extra euro comes from the Dormant Accounts Fund, managed by the Department of Rural and Community Development and, more recently, through the Departments of Employment and Social Protection and Children and Youth Affairs. Cash grants are awarded from this fund to social innovations making proven progress and impact in the following areas.
Climate Justice
Funds in this area support those social innovations that support people experiencing disadvantage by contributing to a just climate transition and by having a positive impact in the areas such as sustainability, climate change education, recycling, the circular economy, green production and waste awareness.
