Community Foundation for Ireland Announces COVID19 Community Fund for organisations impacted by Coronavirus.

The Community Foundation for Ireland have announced a #COVID19 community fund for organisations impacted by Coronavirus. Grants between €1,000 and €10,000 are available for organisations focused on initiatives that directly support those most at risk as a result of Coronavirus. The Community Foundation for Ireland anticipates that organisations that are providing small scale emergency support will require funding of around €1,000 to €2,500.  Those who are significantly enhancing their services at this time may require grants of up to €10,000.
The Community Foundation for Ireland’s Covid-19 Community Fund is aimed at the immediate needs of organisations impacted by Covid-19 and focused on the following:

* People over 60
* People with respiratory illnesses or cancer
* People experiencing domestic abuse
* Isolated vulnerable people and families, particularly those living in rural areas
* Mental health issues for those affected by Covid- 19

The Community Foundation for Ireland will prioritise:

· Initiatives that directly support those most at risk as a result of Coronavirus as outlined above;
· Initiatives that are responding to immediate needs including food, medication and shelter;
· Those organisations whose projects and budgets are realistic and detailed that outline how the grant money will be spent to support those most at risk.
