Applications Invited for the Skills for Tomorrow Fund
The Skills for Tomorrow Fund is now open for applications from innovative, evidence-based projects that build the capacity of individuals and communities experiencing marginalisation to thrive in the future world of work.
There are two strands to the fund: one strand supporting youth-focused projects and another strand supporting adult-focused projects. The fund offers a package of cash grants and non-financial supports over 2.5 years for up to five projects, to help them expand and increase their social impact.
This includes:
- A cash grant between €150,000 to €187,500 for each awarded project
- A non-financial supports package per project including:
- A place on Rethink Ireland’s Accelerator Programme
- Bespoke business and capacity-building supports designed in consultation with the successful projects on topics such as strategic planning, maximising your impact, communications, storytelling and fundraising.
- Access to Rethink Ireland’s networks.
You can apply to Skills for Tomorrow via the online portal from Monday, 18 May to Monday, 29 June at 1pm.
