The fund is a key part of the National Action Plan Against Racism (NAPAR) and will enable non-government and community organisations to provide projects and local initiatives that combat racism and promote racial equality.
The funding call will be based on five thematic pillars:
Being Safe and Being Heard – Supporting people who experience racism and protecting people from racist incidents and crimes
Being Equal – Addressing ethnic inequities
Being Seen and Taking Part – Enabling minority participation
Being Counted – Measuring the impacts of racism
Being Together – A shared journey to racial equality
The fund has two Schemes:
Scheme A for projects seeking grants between €40,000 to €100,000.
Scheme B for projects seeking grants between €5,000 to €10,000.
Applications for funding will remain open until noon on Wednesday 27 August 2025 and must be submitted electronically.
