SSGT Family Matters Grant Programme
St Stephen’s Green Trust (SSGT) is an independent social justice grant-maker which works across the island of Ireland. SSGT believes putting families at the heart of the criminal justice system and processes is the ‘golden thread’ which can reduce the harm of imprisonment and contribute to rehabilitation.
Therefore, a strategic aim of SSGT is to contribute to improving the system of support for families affected by convictions and imprisonment to improve rehabilitation and resettlement outcomes. Evidence shows that prisoners who manage to maintain family bonds whilst in prison have significantly reduced reoffending risks upon release.
Families cannot bear this burden alone and should be supported in this role. However, SSGT acknowledges family relationships are complex and systems should take account of the best interests of both the family and the prisoner.
The grant programme has two funding strands which will support work across the island.
In Strand 1, groups can apply for one-off grants of up to €7,000/£6,000 for work which tests new approaches, adds value to current family support work and develops pathways to knowledge and learning around how to improve the situation for families.
Strand 2 is a two step process for one-off or multiannual grants (up to three years). Up to €25,000/£21,500 per annum is available for strategic initiatives which seek to make a contribution to the programme outcomes.
Deadline: Monday 9th September 2024
