Flexible project fundingVaries by project
Who can apply: Suitable for organisations with a specific project or programme and where the Foundation determines the request is likely to be funded.
Community Foundation Ireland appears to be a nationally focused Irish grantmaker centered on equality, social inclusion, and stronger local communities, with a mix of open grant rounds and smaller relationship-based funding. Its programs suggest particular interest in community development, youth, sustainability, and community resilience, often supporting practical projects that are ready to launch or expand. The foundation also seems to value partnership-driven work with trusted civil society organizations and place-based initiatives, especially when they address inclusion or community wealth-building.
A mix of open grant rounds and small flexible grants; some opportunities are application-based while others require an initial 20-minute meeting or are limited to specific named funds. Grants appear to be program-focused, Ireland-based, and often relatively accessible for community organizations, with some rounds publishing criteria at launch and no unsolicited proposals for certain funds.
