The Katharine Howard Foundation (KHF), an independent grant-making Foundation in
Ireland whose particular emphasis is on the support of community projects and initiatives,
has set 28th September as its next deadline for applications. Applications will 
be considered from both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.

The Foundation supports organisations and projects related to work in disadvantaged
areas throughout Ireland, with Co. Wexford and South Wicklow (where the late Katherine
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.
They are also interested in projects that seek to learn the lessons arising from
their work and that involve themselves in informing policy at a local and national
level.

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

Project must be community based and involve the targeted group in their design and
management

Grants are normally in the range ‚€500 – ‚€2,500. In the case of research projects,
grants will depend on various factors, including the amount of co-funding secured.
Normally grants are once off. However the Trustees are willing to consider an annual
grant over two or three years where that is seen to be a more effective use of funding.
