Briefing: Sources of Finance for Social Enterprises
EPR has created a briefing on how to access finance for social enterprises; focusing on pan-European programmes. The sources include the Employment and Social Innovation Instrument (EaSI), European Progress Microfinance Facility (EPMF), Competitiveness of Enterprises and Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (COSME), European Fund for Strategic Investments (EFSI), Social Impact Accelerator (SIA) and Triodos Bank.
As some of these sources involve financial intermediaries, a useful online search tool to find them is included in the briefing.
The briefing can be accessed here.
