UnLtd Awards

Funding and Finance

The programme provides specialist support for social entrepreneurs to help them grow as social leaders. They combine cash and coaching to help nurture ideas and grow impact. It doesn't matter what stage of development your social venture is at. It can be an idea on paper, or a social venture in practice already.

If successful, depending on your age, location, and the sectors in which you and your social venture operate, you will be assigned to one of their programmes for funding and up to a year of support. They aim to fund individuals/ventures which make a difference to people's lives, communities, or the planet.

They are committed to 50% of awards going to Black, Asian and minority ethnic social entrepreneurs, and/or disabled social entrepreneurs across their funding programmes.
