Established as part of the Guinness 250 celebrations, the Arthur Guinness Fund pays
tribute to Arthur Guinness and his philanthropic legacy. The Fund will support projects
that deliver lasting social, community and environmental benefits.

 

Guinness & Co. has partnered with Social Entrepreneurs Ireland to implement this
initiative, which will seek to identify, support and empower people who are passionate
about making a difference to society and who have projects and initiatives that 
are innovative, will have an impact and are sustainable.

 

Successful applicants will benefit from financial support (in the region of €100,000
per project) as well as practical support and advice. In addition, successful applicants
will benefit from access to the Social Entrepreneurs Ireland Alumni Network.
