Corporate Giving
Entrepreneurs Fund believes that successful business is good for more than just the entrepreneur: it is also good for the communities in which entrepreneurs operate.
We set aside a sizeable annual budget within our own entrepreneurial activities to make sure that we continue to ‘give something back’. We use our knowledge of the specific sectors in which we invest to select issues where we feel we can have a highly positive effect. The list of current projects we support covers child and youth support geared to improving life, health and education, health care, environmental and human development initiatives. Below are some specific examples. If you run an initiative you believe we should consider, you can contact us at info(@)entrepreneursfund.com.
