The Community Foundation for Ireland has launched a new nationwide fund, the OLC
Ireland Trust Fund, and has called for applications from registered charities and
not for profit organisations around Ireland who work with marginalised women.

The OLC Ireland Trust Fund is managed by The Community Foundation for Ireland on
behalf of The Sisters of Our Lady of Charity. The Fund will support projects that
most closely fit the criteria of organisations’ working with women tackling addictions,
prostitution and trafficking, violence and abuse. The goal of the fund is to provide
resources which will help educate, develop and enhance the lives and dignity of 
marginalised women.

This new Fund has been opened with a total of €85,500 available for grant-making
in 2009. It will award grants four times per year with the first closing date for
applications being March 31st 2009. Grants will be in the region of €500 to €5,000
except in exceptional circumstances when a maximum of €10,000 will be awarded. Grants
will be made for once-off projects that are not the core or ongoing activities of
the organisation concerned.
