Atlantic Philanthropies has announced new grants totalling nearly €6.6 million this year in Ireland.
The largest grant was made to the Irish Council for Civil Liberties which received €2.1 million. The grant, over three years, will support the Council’s efforts to advocate for greater respect and protection of human rights and to develop its capacity as an independent monitoring organisation.
The Integration and Social Inclusion Centre of Ireland Ltd has received a grant of €1.4 million over three years while Senior Helpline received €1.35 million.
The majority of new grants were in the Republic of Ireland, with Age NI the only recipient in Northern Ireland. The grant of £355,000 for two years is to “further enhance the strategic capacity and capability of the organisation as the definitive regional Age Sector organisation in Northern Ireland”.
Other larger grants awarded were €1,000,000 to the Person Centre and €300,000 to the Dublin Institute of Technology.
