PEACEPLUS Change Maker Fund
PEACEPLUS Change Maker Fund
Do you have a project or an idea to develop a cross community and/or cross border project? You may be able to access funding through the PEACEPLUS Change Maker Funding Programme.
The PEACEPLUS Programme aims to promote peacebuilding, reconciliation, and cooperation in Northern Ireland and the border counties of Ireland (Cavan, Donegal, Leitrim, Louth, Monaghan, and Sligo). The PEACEPLUS Change Maker Funding Programme is currently open for applications. SEUPB (Special European Union Programmes Body) and Pobal will distribute €40m over the next three years to support people to people projects on a cross community and/or cross-border basis, delivering awards from €10,000 to €100,000 directly into communities.
The funds are available to community and voluntary groups and other organisations and are flexible in the activity that they deliver, but all projects must have a strong focus on improving cross-community and cross-border relationships. The programme’s core area covers the border counties of Ireland: Cavan, Donegal, Leitrim, Louth, Monaghan, and Sligo and Northern Ireland.
For this event, a representative from Pobal will join us to discuss how local community and voluntary organisations can benefit from the PEACEPLUS Change Maker Funding Programme.
Topics covered will include:
- An overview of the PEACEPLUS Change Maker Funding Programme
- Partnership requirements and other eligibility criteria
- Q&A
- Supports available.
