The European Commission sees social enterprises as key actors of the single market and a means to help achieve a sustainable and inclusive economy across the EU. Through its diverse funding programmes, the European Commission provides cash prizes, grants and loans to social enterprises and their support organizations.

- Finding and sharing new opportunities for EU funded projects (including the EU Funding Toolkit and Newsletters)
- Facilitating consortium building between EN members and partners
- Organizing an annual EU Project-Building Workshop
