An Irish philanthropic network providing funding to non-profit organisations is now open to applications.
The Ireland Funds' Heart of the Community Fund is encouraging organisations in Waterford to present their unique needs for funding consideration, with grants between €5,000 and €25,000 available.
The network was established almost 50 years ago to promote and support peace, culture, education and community development throughout Ireland and Irish-related causes around the world, with the Fund launched in 2021.
Executive Director of The Ireland Funds, Siobhán Gallagher, said: "The Heart of the Community Fund is all about meeting the needs of communities all across Ireland. It is designed to help non-profit organisations providing key services to people in need.
"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."
Non-profit social enterprise Grow It Yourself (GIY) was awarded €10,000 in funding last year for community development and education.
Applications are open until May 9, 2023.
