The Commission has extended the deadline for applications to our Human Rights and Equality Grants Scheme 2020 until Tuesday 19 May at 4pm. We hope that this additional time will allow for projects to put their best application forward.
Through its grant scheme, the Commission will award small grants of up to €6,000 and general grants of up to €20,000 to support activities in Ireland that promote access to justice for people who face the greatest barriers to accessing their rights.
Now in its fifth year, grants are open to civil society organisations, rights-holder and community led groups, and trade unions from across the country, who can bring forward proposals on empowering people to understand and claim their rights.
Since its grant scheme was established in 2016, the Commission has supported over 100 human rights and equality projects across Ireland, including research programmes, training or resource activities, conferences or events and cultural initiatives. Any queries on the 2020-21 Human Rights and Equality Grants Scheme should be directed to grants@ihrec.ie
Full details of the grant scheme, with the new deadline (19 May, 4pm) are available on our grants webpage.
