The iME Cares Approach

Annual Budget Allocation

Every year, iME sets aside a portion of its resources to fund iME Cares initiatives. This annual budget forms the foundation upon which we build transformative partnerships.

Funding & Support

Selected partners receive either financial support, mentorship or access to iME resources to bring their initiatives to life. This support goes beyond traditional partnerships; it's a collaborative effort to drive meaningful change.

Biannual Opportunity

iME Cares opens its doors to businesses, non-profits, and organisations every six months. During these periods, potential partners can submit proposals outlining how they intend to leverage iME Cares support to benefit small businesses and communities.

Biannual Progress Reports

Transparency is key to our success. We regularly publish reports detailing the progress of each iME Cares initiative, highlighting the impact it has on the small business ecosystem and communities.

Partnership Selection

Our selection process involves a rigorous assessment of submitted proposals via the iME platform. We look for innovative, impactful initiatives that align with our values and mission.
