Funding call announced for older peoples projects in Ireland

Howard Lake | 15 August 2016 | News

The Community Foundation for Ireland has opened another round of funding for projects which support older people.
The Older Persons’ Fund will provide grants of up to €7,500 to organisations working towards the inclusion of older people in active citizenship roles and the same level of grant for supporting older peoples’ engagement in advocacy.
The Older Person’s Fund says it is seeking to realise the benefits of changing demographics by building a long term sustainable fund to support older people’s voices at a local and national level and their capacity to engage fully in all strands of society.
In line with this goal, the mission of The Older Persons’ Fund will be to support strategic community based and national activities promoting older people as active citizens and advocates – including influencing policy, community decision-making processes, leadership, negotiation and other ways to give greater “voice” to older people.
The Older Persons’ Fund was set up with an initial investment of €3m provided by the Community Foundation (€1m) and The Atlantic Philanthropies (€2m).
Full criteria for the Fund can be found on the Community Foundation for Ireland’s website along with the online application form.
The deadline for applications is the 16 September 2016.
