Funding Socials is an inspiring in-person event series designed for established charity and social enterprise leaders considering their social impact and growth plans.
Social Investment Scotland (SIS) is working in partnership with Firstport and a range of other funders and support agencies to bring you this event. You'll hear fresh ideas and make connections that will boost your income generation, grow your impact and help you gain a better understanding of social investment loan products.
Who this event is for?
These sessions have been created to support organisations that have growth plans and potential to scale their operations and impact.
You’re likely to have been established for at least 2-3 years.
You are considering patient finance (social investment) to support your growth plans, have visibility on how loan repayments can be met in the future (typically through a clear income stream) and you want to find out more.
Your Board is engaged and supportive of your future growth plans.
The sessions have no sector “focus”, all growing and scaling social impact organisations are welcome including those supporting arts, culture, nature and environment, child and social care, heritage, young people services.
Your hosts for this session are:
Kieran Daly - Head of Market Building, Social Investment Scotland
Annie Howie - Investment Manager, Social Investment Scotland
Brian McNally - Relationship Manager, Firstport
We are also delighted to welcome along guest speakers and funders from across the third sector ecosystem including:
Along with our guest speakers, Kieran will explore the support and funds they offer charities and social enterprises and be ready to answer any questions you have.
You will be given a warm welcome with teas and coffees on arrival and the session will close with a light lunch, where you will have the chance to mix with funders and peers and make some new connections.
