New or Updated Funding Initiatives

Community Foundation for NI: Coronavirus Community Fund

The fund will be open to constituted community organisations throughout NI, who are supporting isolated older people at this time.

They want to support community groups working together; particularly in smaller geographical communities.  They will therefore encourage a partnership approach, and one application from one lead organisation, rather than a number of separate applications.

Typically, they will be able to provide grants of £1,000, however, they will consider applications for up to £2,500
