Two recent grants from Atlantic Philanthropies to Queens University in Belfast brings
the total awarded to the institution in the last ten years to $65.7 million. The
recent grants totalling nearly $500,000 are to support the ongoing research into
shared education among Catholic and Protestant schools and to increase advocacy 
efforts on the benefits of Shared Education.

The largest grant to Queens was $15.5 million for a Learning Resource Centre but
in recent years most grants have been for revenue projects rather than capital.

Other recent grants in Ireland includes $931,000 for Carers NI to improve the support
for the over 150,000 carers of older people and older carers in Northern Ireland.
In the Republic of Ireland a grant of $300,000 was made to Social Research Evaluation
Services to evaluate the Ageing Programme.
