COMMUNITY GRANTS PROGRAMME
The Community Grants Programme can support day to day activities of a charity and new/existing projects. We cover a wide range of costs including, rent and running costs, materials and equipment and salaries.
Our average grant is approximately £4,500. We may not be in a position to offer you all that you have requested, however we will discuss viability with you. Please continue to understand what other charities and the government is doing in your field, and ensure that what you propose fits in.
Grants are only open to charities operating in Northern Ireland. Please do not apply if you are serving another region of the UK or beyond.

The following groups may apply:
- Charities registered with the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland
