S.D.M. Creates a Fund to Directly Support
the Traditional Commerce in the Centre of Funchal

As a result of the events that recently affected Madeira, S.D.M. – Sociedade de Desenvolvimento da Madeira, S.A., will make a monetary contribution to the Municipality of Funchal to be used, exclusively, to directly support the micro and small entrepreneurs of the centre of Funchal (traditional commerce).

The objective of this aid is to foster the recovery of the basic social and urban structures of our city, with a special focus on micro and small entrepreneurs whose businesses were completely destroyed. The Municipality of Funchal, in cooperation with the two Associations which represent such entrepreneurs, will manage and allocate this contribution.

Those who wish to join S.D.M. in this effort of actively recovering a vital part of Madeira’s economy, may contact directly the Municipality of Funchal, namely the person in charge of financial matters (contact below). Under the circumstances, any support will be highly valued and appreciated.

Please contact the official coordinator of the fund
