Finance for social enterprises

A social enterprise is a business with social objectives whose surpluses are re-invested for that purpose. 

They can take advantage of most forms of finance as well as financial assistance schemes specific to social enterprises. 

• Newport City Council - small scale grant assistance is available, email [email protected]
• The Wales Council for Voluntary Action has a loan fund for the development of social enterprises
• Social enterprises may be eligible for grants from the National Lottery Community Fund  

 

Funding Wales is the central funding search platform for Wales, created by Third Sector Support Wales.

​You can search hundreds of grant and loan finance opportunities from local, national and international sources. From small grants to large capital projects we can help you find the funding you need

Crowd funding can also be a good way of raising finance for social enterprises and some crowd funding websites specialise in raising funding for social enterprises and community projects.
