Equality Fund 2020 – 2023 open for applications

Rethink Ireland invite applications from organisations that support marginalised women, migrant people (including people in need of international protection), people from minority ethnic communities, the Traveller and Roma communities, people with disabilities and LGBTI+ people. These organisations will also work to strengthen equality in Ireland.

The Fund will especially focus on projects that:

  • Address poverty inequality
  • Work with communities experiencing many discriminations and stigma
  • Work with marginalised communities affected by COVID-19
  • Are based on communities speaking and acting for themselves

To enable this work the Fund further welcomes projects which emphasise:

  • Freedom of civil society, solidarity between groups and collaborations
  • Changing hearts and minds
  • Systemic change
  • Leadership support

Criteria
