Last call for entries for Wexford companies and community groups in €1,000 grant scheme
The RISE Community Fund supported by National Broadband Ireland (NBI) and Granahan McCourt has issued its last call for entries in its programme to deliver grants to small businesses, farms, community groups and social enterprises in Wexford.
Established by Granahan McCourt and NBI Chairman, David McCourt, RISE is providing monthly grants across the country to give an immediate cash injection into local communities seeking to boost their digital ecosystems.
Applications for the cash grants are currently open in Wexford with the deadline closing on 30 November 2023. Up to five grants of €1000 will be available to successful applicants across the county.
“The application process is incredibly quick and easy, and successful applicants will be notified by early December, with money following in quick succession. We can’t wait to see the entrepreneurial ideas from Wexford,” said Orla O’Malley, Programme Director at RISE.
The RISE Community Fund launched last year to empower people’s plans to use technology and has already distributed over 100 grants.
Small businesses, farms, community groups and social enterprises with plans to use technology to scale their operations and bring tangible benefits to their local communities are encouraged to visit www.riseglobalfoundation.com for entry forms and guidelines.
NBI is reminding Wexford residents to also visit their website at www.nbi.ie to check whether their home, farm or business is included in the National Broadband Plan and to sign up for Eircode specific updates on the rollout.
