Western Cape Entrepreneurship Impact Fund

The WCEIF is an outcomes-based, co-funding initiative that supports interventions aimed at strengthening entrepreneurship and MSME development in the Western Cape. 

The Fund is intended for intermediary and ecosystem organisations that support entrepreneurs and MSMEs, and not for individual entrepreneurs or MSMEs applying for direct funding.

Eligible applicants may include registered companies, non-profit organisations, trusts, universities, TVET colleges, industry associations, business chambers, municipalities and other organisations supporting entrepreneurship and enterprise development, subject to meeting the eligibility requirements set out in the Call for Proposals (CFP). 

Eligible organisations are encouraged to review the Call for Proposals and apply as soon as they are ready, as applications will remain open subject to budget availability. The CFP contains the full eligibility and application requirements, as well as the link to the online application. 

Organisations that are interested in applying or require further information or clarification are invited to register for the WCEIF Online Information Briefing Session:
