Grants are in the range of €5,000 to €80,000.

**Vodafone Ireland Foundation** is interested in funding distinctive, high impact,
communicable, focussed, measurable, and sustainable projects that have the potential
to break the poverty cycle. They are particularly interested in programmes that 
involve the whole family in a meaningful way; helping parents, as well as their 
children to reach their full potential.

The Foundation has three levels of funding. Level One relates to significant strategic
relationships every two years with a small number of charities – currently Open 
and the Irish Association of Young People in Care. Level 2 is the round currently
being promoted and which has a 6th June deadline. Level Three funding makes available
funding for capacity building in the sector.
