Diageo Community Awards open
Howard Lake | 24 November 2010 | News
Drinks company Diageo is reminding Northern Ireland charities that the deadline for its 2010 Community Awards is 30th November.
The Diageo Northern Ireland Community Awards scheme is run in conjunction with the Northern Ireland Council for Voluntary Action (NICVA) and offers grants of up to several thousand pounds to a wide range of charities.
In an effort to spread their support to as many charities as possible, organisations that received a grant in 2009 are not eligible to apply this year.
Diageo and NICVA are advising applicants to pay particular attention to section four and five of the application form and to select a specific project rather than make a request for general funding.
Earlier this year Diageo Northern Ireland won the top accolade as Business in the Community’s Responsible Company of the Year.
Applications forms can be downloaded from GrantTracker.
