GROUPS in Inishowen are
being invited to apply for funding under a new €570k
Donegal PEACE IV grants scheme available to support
activities that will help promote positive
relationship building, community led peace building
initiatives and celebrate cultural diversity in our
communities.
Funding is available for activities such as sport,
arts, culture and environment projects that promote
positive relations through addressing issues of
trust, prejudice and intolerance. Projects that
facilitate personal interaction between residents
and groups from divided neighbourhoods and
strengthen cross border relations are also eligible,
as are projects that have a focus on conflict
resolution and mediation at a local level. Projects
that involve events linked to the decade of
commemorations that explore history in a sensitive
manner and build mutual understanding are also
eligible.
Grants are available at a rate of 100% and awards of
funding will range from a minimum €30,000 to a
maximum €125,000.
Information sessions to assist those interested in
applying for funding will be held in Letterkenny
Public Service Centre, Neil T Blaney Road on Tuesday
23rd October at 7pm to 8.30pm.
