What We Do

Social Entrepreneurs Ireland identifies, invests in, and supports social entrepreneurs and the organisations they launch. We also work with our social entrepreneurs network, our partners and our supporters to promote social entrepreneurship at local, regional and national level throughout the island of Ireland.

 

Supporting social entrepreneurs

Social Entrepreneurs Ireland supports social entrepreneurs through our annual Awards Programme which provides direct support to high-potential emerging social entrepreneurs.

 

Promoting social entrepreneurship

Social Entrepreneurs Ireland holds an Annual Awards Ceremony to showcase the work of Ireland's leading social entrepreneurs and to encourage others to become part of the growing social entrepreneurship movement.

We also partner with WDYDWYD?, a worldwide community-art project that asks social entrepreneurs, among others, to answer the simple question "why do you do what you do?", often with surprising and inspiring results!
