The Shared Island Civic Society Fund encourages and supports civic society and community organisations to develop new cross-border links, to further strengthen existing partnerships, or to create or broaden cross-border connectivity on issues of concern for the island of Ireland.

We look for applications that:

foster sustained engagement between civic society at a regional, national or sectoral level as distinct from stand-alone events or engagements;
are from business or trade union representative groups, civic society organisations, community/voluntary groups, NGOs or other regional or national representative bodies (funding is not awarded to applications from individuals);
are representative of different groups of people on the island including persons with a disability, women, young people, older people, migrants, ethnic minorities, and the LGBTQI+ community;
Address a sector that has cross border impact in areas such as the community/voluntary sector, environment, sport and youth engagement.

Applications must demonstrate a clear partnership between at least one organisation based in the South and at least one organisation based in the North, or must be from an all island body.

The Shared Island Civic Society Fund closes for applications: 11:59pm 2 June.
