The Arthur Guinness Fund™ is an internal programme set up to further the legacy of Arthur Guinness and support social entrepreneurs around the world.
The fund was launched and set up in 2009 to mark the 250th anniversary of the signing of the lease for the St James's Gate Brewery. GUINNESS® & Co. is committed through The Arthur Guinness Fund to identifying and supporting social entrepreneurs globally with the skills and support required to deliver a measurable, transformational change to communities around the world.
