Over the past 17 years, we have supported more than 500 social entrepreneurs across the island of Ireland.
At Social Entrepreneurs Ireland we believe that Ireland’s social problems are not being solved quickly enough and that we need to develop new ideas to tackle our biggest challenges. Our mission is to find people with solutions to social problems and support them on every step of their journey. We do this through our programmes, direct funding and our incredible community of alumni, funders, and sector leaders.
Our programmes are anchored across our three strategic pillars on the journey of a social entrepreneur – inspiring and incubating ideas at the first STEP; accelerating and developing organisations that require a LEAP of faith; and ensuring the best solutions can SOAR and impact at scale. Wrapped around every stage of the journey is the SEI community of supporters, mentors and sector leaders.
Since our foundation in 2004, SEI has supported more than 500 social entrepreneurs across the country who are championing and driving solutions in areas such as mental health, housing, the environment and education. SEI alumni have directly impacted the lives of millions of people throughout Ireland and have contributed significantly to creating employment opportunities. Our alumni include FoodCloud, CoderDojo, MyMind, AsIAm and the Irish Men’s Shed Association.
SEI’s model of support is social entrepreneur-led and community powered. Through our work, we aim to inspire people to be the change they seek. Everything we do at SEI is a team effort supported by our incredible community. We know that with the right people alongside you, everything is possible.

The Board of SEI is extremely proud of how the organisation adapted and continued to innovate and deliver supports to so many social entrepreneurs, so many of whom experienced complete upheaval in their operations over the past two years.
Our supporters are as passionate about backing people with ideas and solving social problems, as we are, and we couldn’t do what we do without them.
Thank you to our network of individual supporters, corporate supporters and philanthropic foundations who provide a combination of direct funding, skills and expertise to advance the work of Social Entrepreneurs Ireland and grow the impact of the social entrepreneurs that we support.
