Genio - Opening doors to a better Ireland through high impact social investment

Our vision 

A society that benefits by valuing all of its citizens

Our mission

To bring together government and philanthropy to develop, test, and, scale cost-effective ways of supporting people who are disadvantaged to live full lives in their communities

We do this by combining public and philanthropic resources to:

  • Provide financial support as a catalyst for innovation and reconfiguring existing investment
  • Build skills and leadership amongst key stakeholders to effect and sustain change
  • Gather the required evidence to support system-wide change

Our strategic aim in current fields of operation (disability, mental health, and dementia)

To make supported self-directed living a feasible option for people in need

Our strategic objectives in these fields

  • To develop the capacity of key stakeholders to establish and sustain cost-effective supported self-directed living options 
  • To demonstrate how resources can feasibly be deployed to ensure supported self-directed living can be made available to those in need on a cost-effective basis
  • To develop and disseminate a clear evidence-base in Ireland for how to deliver and resource cost-effective supported self-directed living
