Expo City Dubai Foundation supports social entrepreneurs across various sectors, including climate, youth and education, people of determination, and women.
Women social entrepreneurs can now apply for a $100,000 grant from the newly launched Expo City Dubai Foundation. This initiative aims "to support grassroots projects that benefit people and the planet."
Applications for the grant are currently open. "We are ready to consider all proposals and promptly support exciting, impactful initiatives," said Yousuf Caires, Expo City Dubai Foundation executive director.
"This is the first of many collaborative initiatives in partnership with Expo City Dubai's Women's Pavilion to create a centre for women social entrepreneurs. We will actively support with funding and investment, providing grants between $50,000 and $100,000," he added.
The Foundation aims to support entrepreneurs and assist start-ups across various sectors, including climate, youth and education, people of determination, and women. "We work together with a like-minded community of entrepreneurs, philanthropists, corporates, and fellow foundations from around the world," Caires underscored.
Expo City Dubai Foundation is an extension of Expo Live's legacy and partnerships, which has supported 191 initiatives from 92 countries. Expo Live began in 2013 and has positively impacted 5.8 million people worldwide, created 160,000 jobs, improved healthcare for 1.1 million people, and restored 36 million hectares of desert and non-arable land in its first five cycles.
