Grant Awardees 2026
This year, we were delighted to award two grants of €1000 and €500 to help bring some impactful ideas to life.
Palabritas Learning
The €500 grant was awarded to Palabritas Learning, founded by Ana Kenia Rivas, an early-stage social enterprise offering playful Spanish language classes and cultural learning experiences for children aged 18 months to 10 years in Ireland.
Palabritas Learning brings their mission to life through songs, movement, storytelling, and creative activities. This enables children to learn Spanish naturally while connecting with language, identity, and culture.
Seekly Limited
The €1000 grant was awarded to Seekly Limited, founded by Abigail Adebukunola, a digital platform that makes it easier to discover and book a creative lifestyle.
A working MVP has already been developed and the business is currently preparing for beta testing and launch in Ireland, starting with categories such as beauty, photography, and event services.
Following the Irish launch, there are plans to expand to the UK and other markets over time.
