Dublin City Social Enterprise Awards
The Dublin City Social Enterprise Awards were established in 2015 through collaboration and in order to provide funding to social enterprises to startup and grow in Dublin City.
The awards are managed by Inner City Enterprise and funded by Dublin City Council and the Department of Rural and Community Development. Other key stakeholders include Dublin City Social Enterprise Committee and Dublin City Local Enterprise Office.
Now in its eighth year, the awards have supported and showcased over 40 Social Enterprises.
