Social entrepreneurs can face a lot of difficulty raising financial capital. As part of the government’s effort to raise awareness and support social entrepreneurship in Malaysia, MaGIC (Malaysian Global Innovation & Creativity Centre) has been mandated to support the sector through a dedicated social entrepreneurship unit and fund of RM 20 million.

Magic are providing up to RM150,000 to Malaysia’s deserving social enterprises to help them increase their impact through new business capabilities and improved operations.
After a series of selection processes and due diligence, GOLD is most fortunate to be one of the five SE selected for the Amplify Award 2016. However the amount that were being granted was dependent on the fulfilment of the timely deliverables of the milestones as determined by Magic.
