Applications for ARISE Scheme 2021 Closing Soon

Posted on 12 Oct 2021

Applications are now invited under the ARISE Scheme 2021.

The purpose of the Awareness Raising Initiative for Social Enterprise (ARISE) scheme will be to provide funding to social enterprises and their support and network organisations to carry out awareness raising initiatives that will increase awareness of social enterprises and their potential, in line with the Awareness Raising Strategy. Funding for this scheme will be provided from the Dormant Accounts Fund.

The scheme provides funding under two strands:

  1. Strand One will be aimed at individual social enterprises. It is envisaged that they will tell their story and highlight how their social enterprise is improving people’s lives.
  2. Strand Two will be aimed at Social Enterprise Network and Support organisations to deliver more general or sectoral messages on what social enterprises are, and their potential to deliver sustainable and inclusive development and recovery.

Projects under both strands will be required to be in line with the key messages of the Social Enterprise Awareness Raising Strategy. The Key Messages are shown in the table below.  Organisations seeking funding under this scheme will need to clearly show how these key messages will be incorporated into their awareness campaigns.
