Ireland Funds to award grants of up to €25,000 to non-profit organisations

The Ireland Funds has opened applications for its Heart of the Community Fund 2023, which will provide funding to non-profit organisations across the island of Ireland. 

Applications are open until 9 May, and grants of between €5,000 and €25,000 will be awarded to organisations across the country.

The philanthropic network recognises the challenges organisations face in securing support to build capacity or meet their core costs.

In 2022, the Heart of the Community Fund provided support to three Galway-based non-profit organisations: Baboró International Arts Festival for Children, the Blue Teapot Theatre Company, and Helplink Mental Health.

Siobhán Gallagher, Executive Director of The Ireland Funds, said that the Heart of the Community Fund is about meeting the needs of communities all across Ireland.

“It is designed to help non-profit organisations providing key services to people in need,” she said.

“The Ireland Funds is proud to strengthen Ireland’s non-profit sector with practical help and financial support.

“We would like to thank The Ireland Funds’ network of donors for their ongoing generosity, which ensures that we can enable organisations to deliver vital supports to those across the island of Ireland who need it most.”
