Through working in partnership with the major universities in the UK we identify ‘social entrepreneurs’ who have established up Community Interest Companies (CIC’s) or Not for profit companies (NFP’s). Quite commonly they are alumni of the university or local to the university. We offer these companies a significant grant and importantly mentor them to help them grow and make a real impact.
We have donated £3m+ to Ford Family Foundation (FFF) to enable it to make grants of between £100k- £250k each to over 20 CICs in the next four years. As well as mentoring, we will look to offer support services such as finance and marketing.
