The Ireland Funds will open another round of grant applications next year, according
to its website.

This year it made a call for applications starting in February with a deadline at
the end of March. No details have been provided on the number of successful applications
or the total amount allocated although organisations which were successful began
receiving notification during the summer.

The Funds’ website includes testimonials from a number of recipients of grants in
the youth, social welfare and cultural fields.

In this year’s funding round the objective was to enable organisations to “fund 
new and innovative responses to social need”. The Funds said that when a project
had proven its capacity, often on the back of a grant round gift, the Funds may 
bring it to the attention of individual donors for consideration.

The maximum grant in 2011 was stated as €25,000, with the average €7,000. The Funds
said that organisations seeking grants larger than €25,000 would be considered on
an individual basis with possible presentation to individual donors.
