So far, we have offered Match Trading™ grants to social enterprises, community interest companies, community businesses, and charities seeking to increase their income from trading. All have been established for at least one year, though some have been going much longer. Crucially, they are at stage where they are actively seeking to increase their income from trading.
We are keen to test the parameters of Match Trading: what are the minimum and maximum grant amounts that could be offered? What other sectors could it benefit? What size and maturity of organisation is it best suited to?
We warmly welcome you to contact us to discuss how Match Trading grants could benefit the organisations you work with, so we can explore its broader utility. Please email matchtrading@sse.org.uk and a member of the School for Social Entrepreneurs team will get back to you as soon as possible.
