The Ireland Funds next grant round, which last year supported 126 projects, will
open again for applications later this month.

 

The Ireland Funds will be running a number of grants workshops this month and next
month for those interested in applying for a grant. Last year there were two grant
rounds, a small grants programme which ended in late February and a Flagship programme
for larger projects which closed in April.

The Ireland Funds’ giving fits into the overall Promising Ireland Campaign which
supports work in the fields of cross community, education, culture, youth, ‘forgotten
Irish’ and the promotion of philanthropy.

 

Average grants under the small grants round are €5,000 while the Flagship programme
last year gave up to €75,000.

 

The Ireland Funds’ largest area of fundraising activity is in the United States 
but the Funds also has chapters in Canada and Britain which, while giving under 
the same general criteria of the Promising Ireland campaign, have their own particular
emphasis.

 

Guidelines for the Canadian and British chapters can be found on the [Ireland Funds](http://www.theirelandfunds.org)
website.
