Reconciliation Fund Outreach Workshops
/In advance of the opening of the Reconciliation Fund Annual & Strategic Partnership Grant rounds and the launch of the new Reconciliation Fund Strategy 2026-2029 in March 2026, the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade Reconciliation Fund invites you to attend our series of Outreach Workshops over the course of March 2026. If you intend to submit an application in this year’s round, we strongly recommend you attend one of these outreach workshops.
Please Note: this year’s Annual Round will open in March and not February as in previous years. The exact opening date will be communicated in due course, however we expect it to be around St Patrick’s Day. Strategic Partnership Applications will be by invitation only to eligible groups, with further details being made available at the workshops.
This year we will host sessions in Belfast, Derry, Armagh and Monaghan. Further sessions and locations may be added over the course of the next few weeks, so please keep an eye on our website for details of further outreach. These sessions will outline the application process for each of the Reconciliation Fund rounds (Annual & Strategic Partnership) step-by-step, and answer any questions that you may have. The sessions will also brief attendees on our new Reconciliation Fund Strategy 2026-2029.
You are most welcome to attend the location and time that suits you best.
The Reconciliation Fund will also be in attendance at the upcoming NICVA Funding Fair in Belfast. Details are as follows:
NICVA Funding Fayre, Belfast – Friday 27th February 2026 – 10.00 am to 1.00 pm. Registration to attend this Funding Fayre is available on the NICVA website.
If you would like to attend one of the Reconciliation Fund outreach sessions, please register your attendance using the Eventbrite links below. Please note that registration is limited to a maximum of two persons per organisation. You only need to attend one of the sessions.
