Clann Credo

Clann Credo is a Social Investment Fund in Ireland founded by Sr Magdalen Fogarty and the Presentation Sisters in 1996.

Greencaps Workers Cooperative creates jobs in Dublin Airport for young unemployed people from Ballymun, which is still trading as of 2009.

[1] The President of Ireland, Mary McAleese said in an address to the group in 2006: Clann Credo plays a truly invaluable role in giving practical effect to our moral responsibility for the social progress of the poor and the overlooked.

You have meshed commercial acumen with the common good, created partnerships with established structures and given communities access to the funding and the confidence they needed to change their own futures for the better.

Bioshell near Belmullet is a rural-based organisation that has benefited from funding from Clann Credo since 1998 and as of 2006 employed 23 staff, manufacturing dietary supplements.
