Is an UnLtd Level 2 award waiting for you?

Are you the founder or the driving force behind a social enterprise or a not-for-profit organisation that makes a real difference? Could you convince us that you have what it takes to lift your project to the next stage? If so UnLtd - the Foundation for Social Entrepreneurs – is keen to hear from you. You must have a proven track record of social impact and financial growth as well as a clearly defined vision for the future.

The UnLtd ‘Level 2’ award consists of up to £15,000 to meet personal living expenses or project costs as well as dedicated business support over a twelve month period. UnLtd expects to be able to add value to every project we fund, so we need to be convinced that our investment of time and money is necessary and will deliver long lasting social change.
