The Katharine Howard Foundation is inviting applications in support of community
projects and initiatives, with a grant deadline of 29th September. The Foundation
was established in 1979 by Katharine Howard and is operated through a voluntary 
Board of Trustees and small support staff.

The Foundation supports organisations and projects related to work in disadvantaged
areas throughout Ireland, with Co. Wexford and South Wicklow (where the late Miss
Howard lived) given particular consideration.

The Trustees are keen to support the formation and development of community groups
by those who live in the area, especially where this will lead to building co-operation
and community spirit at a local level. KHF concentrates on giving a small grant 
to projects where it will make an impact and the Foundation therefore looks favourably
towards start-up projects and to those that might be co-funded from other sources.

Funding for research studies that aim to produce positive recommendations for improving
the quality of life of disadvantaged sections of the community will also be considered
through the General Grant applications. The Foundation is particularly interested
in co-funding action research projects that link to early intervention and family
support in disadvantaged areas.

Applications will be considered for Projects supporting:

— Families

— Children and young people

— People with disabilities

— Older people

— Refugee and asylum seekers

Grants are normally in the range of euro 500 – 2,500.
