Building on the success of a financial instrument created for a 2007-2013 pilot, the Polish National Fund for Social Entrepreneurship (NFSE) – set up in the 2014-2020 period with €37 million – is helping to protect hundreds of social economy enterprises all over the country. RAZEM (meaning “together” in Polish), an association that supports 200 children and young people with mental and physical disabilities, was fortunate enough to be able to rely on the fund’s support at a difficult time.
