The Grow Remote Community Fund supports innovative ideas which aim to activate the power of remote work locally.
It is vital to our Community model that remote workers actively engage in their locality. They can do so through Chapter membership while building their network and connections through our online platforms. As we emerge into the next phase of remote working in Ireland, we thought it was a good time to recognise the creativity and innovation that has been transforming local communities for some time now.
We made a €10,000 fund available to support the most creative and transformative project ideas coming from within our community.
The fund was open to Grow Remote Chapter Leads to apply for amounts between €250 and €1,000 per chapter. Chapters could apply individually or could join forces and submit a joint application, and we saw some wonderful collaboration as a result.
The projects must achieve one or more of these four aims:
- Make visible the thousands of remote jobs open and available to local communities today
- Enable Remote workers to actively participate locally
- Promote and advocate for remote working in your local community
- Reduce isolation of remote workers
So we warmly congratulate the 2021 Grow Remote Community Fund grantees. Have a look at their projects below and, if you want to get involved, contact our community team now.
Grow Connections App
A joint project between Grow Remote Chapters in Wexford, Kilkenny and Longford.
This project aims to easily make visible all the community organisations in your county and nearest town.
Living in a community under lock down has made it clear that we don’t know the range of clubs, societies, and activities available locally. The Grow Connections app will put this information in your hand and give you a way to act on your desire to actively participcate in your local community.
The future of remote working is visibility. The attractions of a community can be hidden, so this app will make them visible.
