ING DIRECT’s $100,000 Dreamstarter program seeks applicants

In 2015 ING DIRECT will support 15 to 20 Dreamstarter projects across the nation.

ING DIRECT will provide funding for 50 per cent of each project’s kick off costs. The projects will also be supported by Australian community groups through crowdfunding.

Since its launch in 2013, the Dreamstarter program has contributed over $345,000 to 31 Australian social change projects in areas such as: indigenous entrepreneurship, youth homelessness and environmental education.

David Breen, Head of Corporate Affairs at ING DIRECT said, “ING DIRECT is proud to be supporting social entrepreneurs across Australian with additional funding for the Dreamstarter program in 2015.”

“Dreamstarter enables people to bring to life their own vision for a better future, empowering them to make a difference and helping communities to get ahead,” he commented.

The projects will be selected by a panel that includes representatives from the School for Social Entrepreneurs and StartSomeGood, Dreamstarter’s crowdfunding platform partner.
