Businesses get a boost from Guinness
Unveiled at a reception in the Guinness Storehouse, Dublin, the businesses will receive between €50,000 and €100,000 each depending on whether they are start-up projects established in the past two years or “take-off” projects at a more advanced stage in their development.
The fund was created in 2009 as part of the Guinness 250th anniversary. It is designed to support social entrepreneurs. To date, 20 projects have collectively received €1.65m in aid along with business mentoring.
