Anam Cara and The Arthur Guinness Fund
Anam Cara is delighted to announce we are one of the recipients of the Arthur Guinness Fund.
The Arthur Guinness Fund is an innovative investment vehicle set up to further the legacy of Arthur Guinness and support social entrepreneurs around the world. In April 2010, the Arthur Guinness Fund distributed €1 million amongst ten social entrepreneurs from across Ireland.
The 2010 Arthur Guinness Fund Awardees cover a diverse range of interests, each making a significant difference to local communities, primarily in Ireland and also abroad. One of the most progressive aspects of the Arthur Guinness Fund is that it is not only about providing a financial commitment to the emerging social entrepreneurship sector in Ireland; the Awardees also benefit from access to practical support and expertise through Diageo Ireland support and Social Entrepreneurs Ireland’s alumni network.
The Arthur Guinness Fund is designed as a springboard to enable social entrepreneurs to take their initiatives to the next level, and further expand their vision for making a real difference to the people around them.
We are looking forward to working with the Arthur Guinness Fund and the other awardees to help bring Anam Cara to the next stage of our development as a national organisation dedicated to supporting parents and families after the tragic death of son or daughter.
