The Allen Lane Foundation has decided to extend its funding in Ireland. For the 
last five years it has only funded work relating to prisons and penal work but will
now consider applications relating to refugees, asylum seekers and migrant workers.

The new funding from Allen Lane will particularly focus on combating racism and 
encouraging integration. The Foundation has tended to fund smaller organisations
and annual giving in the Irish Republic has been around £40,000.

The Allen Lane Foundation was established by the founder of Penguin Books, Sir Allen
Lane, and annual expenditure is in the region of £500,000. Approximately 100 grants
are made each year.
