Circle of Support
Impact Investment at the Hub of Social Entrepreneurs
Подробнее
About the Program

The “Circle of Support” Impact Investment program is a unique initiative by the Hub of Social Entrepreneurs aimed at attracting financial resources and recirculating them among new social entrepreneurs. We create a sustainable ecosystem where every participant gets an opportunity to start and grow, and then returns funds to help others.
Why is this needed and important?
Social entrepreneurs often face challenges at the initial stage: lack of startup capital, difficulties in accessing financing, and insufficient support. The “Circle of Support” program addresses these issues by providing:

  • Startup Capital: Financial support for launching or scaling projects.

  • Sustainability: Opportunity for entrepreneurs to become self-sustaining and financially independent.

  • Continuity: Returned funds go to support new participants, creating a cycle of mutual assistance.
How Does It Work?
Fundraising:
  • We attract investments from socially responsible businesses, funds, and individuals who want to support social initiatives.
  • Funds are accumulated in a special Hub fund.

Fund Distribution:
  • New social entrepreneurs apply for funding.
  • Hub experts evaluate projects based on their social impact and potential for self-sustainability.
  • Selected projects receive startup capital on favorable terms.

Fund Recirculation:
  • Once an entrepreneur becomes self-sustaining, they start returning funds to the Hub fund.
  • Returned funds are used to support new projects, creating a “circle of support.”
