The Vodafone Ireland Foundation has launched the latest round of its Making A Difference
programme which provides up to €40,000 to each of four successful applicants.

The programme offers four residents of the Republic of Ireland the chance to work
with a charity of their choice in Ireland, by providing them with a year’s salary(
up to a maximum of €40,000) plus expenses.

Making A Difference has been running since 2007 and has supported individuals working
with a wide range of charities, often less well known.
