Our Awards programme provides support – both financial and practical to help social entrepreneurs to get their idea off the ground or to grow and develop an idea which has passed the start-up stage and is now poised to have real social impact.
Level 1 Award
Level 1 Awards are suitable for applicants who are at the early stages of development of their project, typically at proof-of-concept/pilot stage. A Level 1 Award lasts for 12 months. Awardees receive €5,000 plus practical support and training and access to the Social Entrepreneurs Ireland Network. In 2008 our target is to make 25 Level 1 Awards.

Level 2 Awards are suitable for applicants with projects at the post launch/initial growth stage which already have a proven model and which are looking to significantly grow the project’s scale and impact. Level 2 awards consist of an award of €70,000 (€80,000 for partnerships) over a period of 2 years plus practical support and training, a personal advisory group and access to the Social Entrepreneurs Ireland network. In 2008 our target is to make 8 Level 2 Awards.
