A separate series of events will be announced in January for community voluntary organisations wishing to apply for funding.

The Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB) and Pobal are currently preparing to open two new PEACEPLUS grants schemes aimed at grassroots communities.

The Change Makers Funds, due to open for applications in January 2025, will provide €40 Million to support people to people projects on either a cross community or a cross-border basis.

A range of support activities will be run for grassroots community groups throughout the duration of the schemes which will include partnership matching, applications workshops, 1:1 support, a helpline and training for successful applicants during project delivery.

Co-operation Ireland, in partnership with Rural Action and East Border region have been contracted to help promote the programme and support groups to apply.
