Central Good Relations - Small Grants Fund
The fund supports productive, time-bound projects which contribute to the promotion of good relations up to a value of £2,000.
What is the aim of the Programme?
The aim of the Programme is to support the achievement of the Executive’s strategic objectives relating to good relations.
Small Grants funding should be used for the delivery of projects which aim to address any of the following:
- where there is an identified good relations need and the aim is to work with those most in need of a good relations intervention within specific areas of impact;
- where there is, or potential for, heightened social unrest;
- where there has been a significant change in local demographics;
- where there has been an increase in racist/sectarian hate incidents; and
- where emerging issues within communities warrant a Good Relations intervention.
It should be noted that to be fundable under CGRF, projects need to demonstrate concrete Good Relations work at the heart of all activities, and this work needs to be more active in engendering Good Relations rather than passively bringing people from different communities/backgrounds together.
The fund supports productive, time-bound projects which contribute to the promotion of good relations up to a value of £2,000.
Applications for small grants in 2025/26 are currently closed. Should additional funding be made available later in the year, groups on the CGRF mailing list will be notified.
