SWEF Enterprise Fund Start-Up Grant

The SWEF Enterprise Fund Start-Up Grant is a funding opportunity provided by the Community Foundation Northern Ireland to support young entrepreneurs in Northern Ireland. This grant provides financial assistance up to £500 to help young people aged 18-30 who are from low-income households or facing financial challenges that prevent them from developing their business. The grant is designed to provide start-up support for young entrepreneurs who are majority shareholders in their business ventures. The funding is available on an ongoing basis with no specific deadline, making it accessible to eligible young entrepreneurs throughout the year. Applications must come from majority shareholders who meet the age and residency requirements, and demonstrate financial need.
