We are thrilled to announce the launch of the Impact for Wexford Fund, designed to support the development of Wexford’s communities. Our goal is to raise €250,000 from donors, which will be matched by the Department of Rural and Community Development, creating a total fund of €500,000 for Wexford’s people by Wexford people. 

This fund will provide vital grants, non-financial assistance, and targeted training to a diverse range of social innovation projects.

How will the Impact for Wexford Fund make a difference

  • Build strong partnerships between social enterprise, local business, government bodies and community organisations.
  • Support creative and pioneering approaches to problem-solving.
  • Empower local communities to actively participate in decision-making and project implementation.
  • Strengthen the skills, knowledge and resources of individuals and organisations to increase resilience and self-sufficiency.

Wexford boasts a vibrant community, abundant natural resources, and a rich cultural heritage, all of which present significant opportunities for advancing renewable energy, sustainable tourism, and marine ecosystem preservation. The way our communities are structured plays a crucial role in driving climate action and mitigation. Additionally, Wexford’s socio-economic landscape highlights that some areas of the county face higher levels of deprivation, inadequate housing, and poor physical environments.

We have funded several projects in Wexford including Kilcannon Industries, Wexford Local Development, Raheen Community Development group, Teens Project from The Down Syndrome Centre and Embers Project from Active Connections.
