In August 2022, Rethink Ireland announced 28 companies to be given start-up or development funding under the Social Enterprise Start-Up Fund developed in partnership with the Department of Rural and Community Development via the Dormant Accounts Fund. The funding of €800,000 aims to “support social enterprises at the startup and early stage of existence,” Limerick Live reports.
Mamobo’s Gorm Media is among the enterprises that have secured the funding in the scheme.
“Social enterprises have an important role to play in guiding Ireland to become a more inclusive and equal society. Organisations like Gorm Media and Health Hub are leading the charge by not only creating jobs but working towards bringing about positive social change,” explains Limerick council chief executive Dr Pat Daly for the Limerick Live news page.
