Social Investment
Social investment is not a grant or a donation (although some social investment opportunities may include an offer that is part loan, part grant). It is money provided to enable your organisation to generate more income or be more effective. In other words, it’s a means to an end. This might be by:
- growing your business,
- putting in place better systems,
- ultimately doing more social good,
- and repaying the investment in the process.
If you still have queries, please ring us on 0151 227 5177 or fill out our enquiry form.
