Overview
Every day, across the world, inspiring non-profit leaders, volunteers and their supporters are working tirelessly to make your communities better places to live. Too often we see small non-profits with exceptional ideas on the brink of delivering change, unable to make their idea a reality due to lack of funds. We want to help you build opportunities from your bright idea
Details
Sage Foundation’s Enterprise Fund will support the creation of either new or piloted entrepreneurial programmes or initiatives that may go no further due to funding challenges.
We are committed to helping the most enterprising solutions become a reality in our communities. That’s why our fund is only open to non-profits with an income of less than $2M.
What are our key focus areas?
We have four key themes that underpin our work and shape how we contribute towards our communities:
- Education
- Enterprise & Employment
- Diversity & Inclusion
- Health & Wellbeing
What type of activity will we fund?
Through the creation of either new or piloted entrepreneurial programmes or initiatives, we want to help you:
- Build on your existing success and support the delivery of your overall mission
- Generate additional income to make your organization stronger and more sustainable
- Deliver innovative solutions that tackle issues in the towns and cities where Sage has offices
About Sage
We give businesses around the world the information, insight and tools they need to succeed today.
Re-imagining business is not about playing catch up, it’s about leapfrogging the competition. Too often businesses make decisions based on what’s in the rear view mirror, rather than the headlights. We combine social, mobile, real-time technology to put live information at your fingertips so you can make fast, informed decisions.
Everything we do starts and finishes with building customers for life by offering them choice, support, expertise and innovation. That means championing their causes. It means offering them choice rather than forcing change upon them, and letting them know we’ll be ready to go when they are.
We do business the right way – building trust with customers by being the go-to source of business advice for small and medium businesses. We also recently created the Sage Foundation and through it launched a bold new 2+2+2 model for corporate philanthropy.
We are creating a high speed, high performance culture, and becoming One Sage - a single organisation that delivers the same outstanding customer experience the world over.
