The Guinness company in Ireland has revised its funding criteria for its 2013 funding round.
Previously known as the Arthur Guinness Fund, which provided funding for social enterprise initiatives, the 2013 grants will support individuals who have ‘innovative, inspiring and brilliant ideas.’ Arthur Guinness Projects, as it is now known, will support projects in the areas of arts, music, sport and food.
Each winning category will be awarded €50,000 as well as advice and mentoring to help the project gets off the ground. The public will play a part in short listing projects through Facebook, Twitter, and Linkedin.
