PRESS RELEASE
Investment funds to grow Australia’s social enterprises
Social enterprises are set to grow with today’s announcement of an innovative collaboration between the Australian Government and leading social impact investors, which will help the nation’s social enterprises to be more investment ready and financially sustainable.
Minister for Employment Participation, Kate Ellis, and the Minister for Indigenous Employment and Economic Development, Senator Mark Arbib, today announced the successful funds managers for the Social Enterprise Development and Investment Fund (SEDIF).
The Australian Government is providing seed funding to Social Enterprise Finance Australia (SEFA) and to Foresters Community Finance to offer tailored financial products and loans to meet the needs of social enterprises.
The two investment funds will have a total capitalisation of $32 million.
Ms Ellis said that SEFA and Foresters Community Finance will work to support those social enterprises nationwide which combine an innovative business model with a social or environmental mission.
Ms Ellis today visited Tasty Fresh Community Catering in Logan in Brisbane, a social enterprise which creates pathways into training and employment especially for carers of people with a disability.
“We want to ensure that more social enterprises, like Tasty Fresh Community Catering, are able to access appropriate finance at the right time to achieve positive social impacts in their communities,” Ms Ellis said.
May 2011 Logan Women's Health and Wellbeing Centre has just been awarded a Highly Commended prize in the Healthy Queensland Awards, in partnership with "Keep Australia Beautiful". The prize was awarded for the Wise'n'Well Program which has been running at the centre for the past two and a half years. It has led to the development of the highly successful "Lifestyle Challenge" and "Living Well" mentor project. The prize money will go towards further developing the programs and additional products and services to support Logan women in becoming healthier and happier.
