Social Innovation Fund Ireland was established by the government in 2015 to promote innovation in the non-profit sector.
Their mission statement reads “Our purpose is to support the best non-profits, charities and social enterprises in Ireland so that they can grow and reach more people who will benefit from their crucial work.”
All money raised by SIFI is matched by government money from the Dormant Accounts Funds.
