About us
Who we are
Since 2002, we’ve empowered enterprising people with funding, highly tailored mentorship, and resources to tackle societal challenges and create lasting social impact. Learn about our mission to transform the future through innovation, sustainability, and collaboration. Join us in making a difference.
UnLtd finds, funds and supports social entrepreneurs - people with solutions to change our society for the better. We were formed in 2002 by seven organisations who believed that social entrepreneurs could make a significant contribution to our economy and society. We were among the first to back individuals with their own ideas to create social good.
UnLtd’s core Awards are funded by the income generated from an endowment from the Millennium Commission. This legacy is carefully invested so that it generates income to fund our awards for years to come.
Since we were founded, we have learned a lot about what is needed for social entrepreneurs to create change and we have grown our support beyond our core awards, helping to accelerate the impact of scaling ventures. We cannot do this alone and seek committed partners and funders who share our vision.
We’re very proud of the work we’ve done so far. We hope you’ll join us for the next stage of our journey.
