# How is it funded?
*In the beginning, Rose Barrett and Tracy Keogh did most of the 'wrangling' or 'bringing together' of work. Back then, both donated their time.*
Our biggest costs to date were our events and we secured event partners for those including FBD, Bank of Ireland, BDO Ireland, Sligo County Council, Smart Community South Sligo, The Western Development Commission, Irish Centre For Business Excellence and Blacknight Solutions.
