Find Invest Grow & ESSA are delighted to sponsor the National Student Fundraising Awards, supporting the incredible work carried out by fundraising volunteers across the UK.

Find Invest Grow (FIG)

FIG offers a pragmatic new approach to investing in young entrepreneurs, working typically with undergraduates and graduates of up to five years. As well as helping young entrepreneurs find investment for their business ideas, FIG offers ongoing mentoring, advice and support.

ESSA

The Enterprising Student Society Accreditation (ESSA) is a nationwide accreditation scheme, run by Find Invest Grow (FIG), that highlights, benchmarks and rewards enterprising activity in undergraduate societies.

Because of the need to generate income, recruit members and organise events, university societies are ideal platforms from which to encourage and grow business skills and acumen. ESSA accredits successful societies, giving them an official stamp of achievement. Once accredited, societies are eligible to enter the ESSA Awards to compete for a share of the £61,000 prize fund.
