Thinking about taking on social investment, but not sure your organisation is ready?
The Social Investment Gateway Programme is a free 12-month support programme for charities, social enterprises and community organisations that want to strengthen trading and move nearer to investment readiness.
You’ll get practical support to grow your trading activity, strengthen your organisation and prepare to apply for and manage social investment with confidence. You may also receive a Match Trading™ grant of up to £18,000 or a repayable grant of up to £24,000 to help you invest in your organisation, support your growth and reward trading success.
The programme is led by the School for Social Entrepreneurs (SSE), a national charity supporting social leaders and community organisations to grow their impact through learning, funding and support. It is supported by Access – The Foundation for Social Investment.
Grants are available for charities who are working with vulnerable and disadvantaged people.
Grants are available to VCSE organisations to run projects for children and young people (25 or under) to make music activity more inclusive and foster learning, creation and employment opportunities.
