Liquid Therapy has previously benefited from the Ireland Funds' Heart of the Community Fund which is now open
The Ireland Funds, the global philanthropic network, has opened applications for its Heart of the Community Fund 2023.
This fund 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.
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.”
Applications are open until May 9.
