Non-profit organisations in Mayo invited to apply for the Heart of the Community Fund 2023

The Ireland Funds, the global philanthropic network, has opened applications for its Heart of the Community Fund 2023, which will provide funding in response to the needs of non-profit organisations across the island of Ireland.

The Ireland Funds recognises the challenges organisations face in securing support to build capacity or meet their core costs, so the Heart of the Community Fund 2023 will provide organisational investment grants with a total of at least €500,000. Applications are open until May 9.

The Heart of the Community Fund 2023 will continue to respond to the non-profit sector by encouraging organisations to present their unique needs for funding consideration, be that operational or programmatic. Grants between €5,000 and €25,000 will be awarded.

Siobhán Gallagher, executive director of The Ireland Funds, 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.”
