Post-Covid Recovery Funding Available for VCSE Sector
Published March 2022
The Fusion21 Foundation – an integral part of social enterprise Fusion21, is a founding investor in the Recovery Loan Fund, an initiative providing accessible financial support for organisations in the VCSE (Voluntary, Charity and Social Enterprise) sector that have been hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Established by Social Investment Business (SIB), the fund aims to provide loans to organisations whose primary purpose is to improve people’s lives, their environment, and the society they live in.
Along with SIB, the Fusion21 Foundation is working alongside organisations like the British Business Bank, The Church of England, and Big Society Capital to help encourage applications for funding.
Fusion21 members will benefit from a referral fee for applications made, to further support their own community investment initiatives.
Help spread the word in your networks! Applications are open until 20th May 2022.
