The Ireland Funds is proud to launch the Heart of the Community Fund 2025, supporting non-profit organizations across the island of Ireland through two targeted grant rounds. Applications are now open for non-profits in Northern Ireland delivering essential services to their communities. This first round prioritizes programs that empower youth through civic leadership, create pathways to employment, and address urgent mental health needs in areas impacted by trauma and limited opportunity. Deadline: Friday, 27 June 2025. A second round of funding for organizations in the Republic of Ireland will open later this year with details to follow. This funding opportunity is made possible by the generous supporters of The Ireland Funds, whose commitment fuels the vital work of so many organisations. We’re proud to continue investing in initiatives that create meaningful, lasting change at the heart of their communities. Apply now: https://irelandfunds.org/grants/ (fb)
