The second round of Caring Communities grants run by the Community Foundation for Ireland is now accepting applications.
There are four distinct categories in this round:
- LGBT Communities
- Youth Unemployment
- Emergency Respite Care
- Older People (encompassing Active Citizenship and Advocacy for Older People)
The aim of Caring Communities is to fund innovative and replicable projects which will encourage shared learning and create models of work for peers. Priority will be given to applicants who can clearly demonstrate that this can be achieved.

Capital, core or ongoing costs such as rent, salaries and the main work of an organisation will not be supported. Additionally, any successful applicants will be encouraged to network with other grantees directly and to report on progress as well as being required to participate in a learning event in early 2014.
The size of grants available varies between the individual categories and there are eligibility limits depending on the turnover of the organisation.
Full criteria and application cover sheets are available on the Community Foundation for Ireland website. Application is by email (Word attachment) only to in**@********on.ie. The closing date is 5pm on Friday 28 June 2013.
