Diplomats in Ireland operating under the [International Charity Bazaar](http://www.internationalbazaar.ie)(
ICB) fundraising initiative will seek applications from Irish charities from next
week.

Last year ICB supported eight charities in Ireland mostly operating in the health,
social welfare and arts fields. The ICB mainly raises its money from two annual 
events, a Diplomatic Ball and a charity bazaar.

Over 50 Dublin-based embassies participated in ICB’s fundraising last year, raising
over €80,000. The executive director of ICB is Jane Chilcott, wife of the British
Ambassador to the Republic of Ireland.

Organisations applying to ICB have to be registered charities and have projects 
where up to €20,000 can make a contribution. No funding will be provided for salaries.

The closing date for applications is **31 March 2015**, with selected charities 
notified by 1 May. Funds will be distributed in December.
