After some period of consultation, the Vodafone Ireland Foundation is making a new
call for applications. The new criteria will focus on children and young people,
with a deadline of December 20th.

Applications are open to all Irish Charities whose projects are based in Ireland
and who hold a current CHY number with the Irish Revenue Commissioners.

Vodafone Ireland Foundation (VIF) says it is motivated by the principle of a ‘hand
up, not a hand out’. VIF will have funding of over ‚€1,000,000 available in 20062007
to assist programmes or projects targeting young people, children and their families.

of its kind in Ireland. It is among 23 Vodafone Foundations around the world and
is part of Vodafone’s commitment to be a responsible global citizen and member of
society.

In the first three years of its existence the Vodafone Ireland Foundation funded

the Foundation has decided to narrow its focus and to prioritise its efforts on 
supporting young people, children and their families facing adversity in their lives.
