Enterprise Promotion
Do you have a novel idea for teaching people what enterprise is all about?
Could you suggest a new way to enthuse people to try out enterprise for themselves?
Would you like support to experiment a little?
If you have a proposal for a project to develop enterprise capability, you may be eligible for support from the Enterprise Promotion Fund.
What is the Enterprise Promotion Fund?
The Enterprise Promotion Fund is designed to encourage new ideas to promote awareness and understanding of enterprise. Its purpose is to encourage experimentation, the evaluation of new ideas and the identification and spread of best practice in an area where there is currently too little knowledge.
The Enterprise Promotion Fund aims to:
" raise awareness of enterprise
" raise understanding of how to acquire further skills or information relevant to engaging in enterprise
" inspire and motivate individuals to gain practical experience of enterprise
" encourage the development of enterprise skills, eg risk assessment and management.
The Fund supports creativity in promoting enterprise awareness across all sections of society. We are looking to support projects which will test out new ways of showing people what enterprise is all about and equipping them with the understanding and enthusiasm to try out enterprise for themselves.
Who can apply for funding from the Enterprise Promotion Fund?
The Fund is open to bids from the private and voluntary sectors and from public sector organisations which can demonstrate significant private or voluntary sector support for their projects.
Applications should be submitted by 31st October 2003. For furthur information go to www.sbs.gov.uk/enterprisepromotion
