Environment and Nature Fund
Donation protected
The Community Foundation for Ireland stands for a fair, caring and vibrant Ireland for now and the future. It connects donors to great causes, offering a model of strategic giving that is effective and delivers. We believe the role of Philanthropy is to guide social change; it is a personal expression of who you are and what you care about.
This year we announced our commitment to providing €250,000 in grants through our newly established Environment and Nature Fund. An initial funding of €200,000 is being made available through online applications from May 17th. Organisations can apply for grants of €5,000, €7,500 or €10,000 to enhance biodiversity in communities throughout the country by combining the expertise of qualified ecologists with the skills, experience and enthusiasm of local community groups.
The Community Foundation for Ireland is hoping to grow this fund further in order to provide as much support as possible to make a real and lasting strategic impact in this area. To ensure we achieve these goals we are reaching out to our own network of supporters and donors to ask them to contribute to this fund so that we can provide funding to more communities in Ireland to preserve and increase our natural biodiversity.
Now we are also reaching out to you the people of Ireland to help us to grow this fund and ensure that more community groups can avail of funding. Although there are many social issue areas in Ireland that need support however our local biodiversity is being depleted at an alarming rate and needs immediate action. Each one of us has the potential to be a philanthropist and there has never been a more pressing issue to contribute funding to.
By contributing to this campaign either financially or by spreading the message of the campaign with your friends and family we can ensure there is more funding for community groups to carry out this important work.
Organisations who apply for funding are assessed by our expert grants panel and we make sure that they adhere to the highest standards of governance, ensuring that the money you contribute goes directly to the cause. 100% of monies raised through this campaign will go directly to the organisations carrying out this work.
We hope that you can contribute whatever you can to the Environment and Nature Fund and encourage others to do so, the more money that is raised the more community groups that will be supported to enhance and protect our local biodiversity.
