**The Ireland Funds has announced that their Small and Flagship Grant rounds will
open next month.**

The **Small Grant Round** supports non-profit and community organisations across
the island of Ireland and offers grant funding **under €7,000/£7,000** for smaller
community organisations and for organisations that have not previously been supported
by the Ireland Funds.

The **Flagship Grant Round** provides multi-annual funding of **up to €50,000/£50,000**
for organisations that have established a strong track record of managing grants
from The Ireland Funds. The Ireland Funds say the Flagship programme is a highly
competitive funding round that targets organisations wishing to pilot new programs
or to scale initiatives that are already having an impact.

In 2017 the [Ireland Funds](http://www.irelandfunds.org) received 90 applications
for its Flagship grant programme. Eleven projects got through the first stage assessment
with 5 receiving grants worth over €450,000. Blossom Ireland in Galway works, which
support children with intellectual disability, and the Integrated Education Fund
in Northern Ireland were amongst Flagship recipients.

The Ireland Funds support non-profit organisations by delivering grants workshops
in locations around Ireland and Northern Ireland. These workshops are free to attend
and cover

 * The Ireland Funds’ grant-making process
 * Programme areas and funding priorities
 * Examples of strong versus weak applications
 * Tips on what makes a competitive application for both funding rounds

The grant workshops will be held this month and the dates and venues will be announced
shortly. The dates for the grant rounds will also be announced soon.
