The Vodafone Foundation Ireland’s World of Difference grant programme is open for
applications until 8^(th) September 2014.

The World of Difference programme supports ‘social innovators’ by providing a year’s
salary to work for the charity of their choice for a year. The charity in question
has to have a youth focus.

Since 2007 the [Vodafone Foundation](http://www.vodafone.ie/foundation) has provided
over €1 million for selected charities and has given 65 people the opportunity to
spend a year with their chosen charities to work on a wide variety of projects.

In late September 20 candidates will be shortlisted for the programme with four 
winners announced on 22^(nd) October. Successful candidates can take up their roles
in the charity a month later.

Each winner’s salary will be provided to the particular supervising charity by the
Vodafone Foundation to the gross amount of €40,000. Each winner’s supervising charity
will also have access to a capped expense account to put towards the winner’s employment
expenses, including travel.
