Ecwiti Funding for social entrepreneurs in Wales
The next round of Ecwiti Funding is open for applications, and closes on September 30th
Social Firms Wales and UnLtd have partnered to find, fund and deliver support to social entrepreneurs in Wales, with a focus on those from marginalised backgrounds.
We are looking to fund and support social entrepreneurs in Wales who:
-
live or work in areas with high poverty rates
-
are Black, Asian and/or from a minority ethnic background
-
are disabled
-
have direct lived experience of the social issues they are setting out to solve
There are 2 levels of funding:
-
Up to £5,000 for social enterprises starting up, or running for under 1-year
-
Up to £15,000 or social enterprises running for over 1-year, but under 4-years
The Ecwiti programme is funded by the Welsh Government. It will work towards the outcomes set out in Transforming Wales through Social Enterprise, a 10-year vision to see social enterprise adopted as a business model of choice. |
