Rethink Ireland’s €7.8m investment in Limerick
As part of the annual gathering, Rethink Ireland visited non-profits in Limerick
RETHINK Ireland marked a €7.8m investment in social innovation projects in Limerick at its annual board gathering, hosted in the county.
Through a unique venture philanthropy model, Rethink Ireland backs social innovations that are thinking differently to meet the urgent needs of people in communities across Ireland, partnering with businesses, individuals, families and Government.
As part of the annual gathering, Rethink Ireland visited non-profits in Limerick who have been awarded funding - Narrative4, Corpus Christi Family Centre, Moyross, and Bedford Row Family Centre. Rethink Ireland also highlights 150 awards of funding to organisations in Munster since 2016, with 65 in Limerick.
John Fitzgerald, board director, Rethink Ireland, who is pictured with Deirdre Mortell, CEO and founder of Rethink Ireland and James Lawlor, director, Narrative 4, said: “Our remit is to accelerate positive social change by backing social innovation.
“Localised philanthropy is something that we resolutely back at Rethink Ireland as part of our unique venture philanthropy model because we know that it is important for people to see their donation in action and its benefits to society.”
