Seed Funding Opportunity: Inter–Church Good Relations Work

Through the kind support of Benefact Trust, the Irish Council of Churches awards Good Relations grants up to the sum of £450 to churches and organisations who support ecumenical work within their local area.

These grants should enable churches to further the work of peace and reconciliation either through single events or an ongoing project.

 

In order to be eligible for the grant you need to be:

  • Part of a member church of ICC or IICM
  • Currently living in either jurisdiction on the island of Ireland

 

To apply for the grant you need to:

  • Demonstrate the need for your proposal within your local area (using evidence)
  • Demonstrate an outcome that enhances good community relations or improves knowledge and understanding of how to deepen good relations across religious barriers
  • Submit a secure financial proposal with clear costs

 

Exclusions: ICC will not normally fund:

  • applications that only operate within a single denomination
  • Retrospective expenditure
  • for profit enterprises,
  • costs that are already covered by other sources
  • costs not clearly linked to the project
  • projects that provide no significant benefit

 

Applications will stay open for 2025 or until expenditure for the grant is complete
