SSGT Civil Society Grant Programme Opens for Applications
In line with one of the strategic goals of St Stephen’s Green Trust (SSGT) to contribute to strengthening democracy through civic engagement and participation, SSGT has launched a new funding programme and now inviting applications.
It aims to contribute to a ‘high energy democracy’ by supporting civil society groups to:
- Engage in participative and deliberative democracy initiatives that harness the power of civil society to transform democratic decision-making processes
- Develop progressive platforms for collective power and influence which use values-based approaches to identify elements of transformative change
- Create spaces for participation and voice, particularly among those who are most marginalised.
This is a one-off grant programme to fund groups on the island of Ireland for up to £12,500/ €15,000. Detailed criteria and guidelines for applicants can be found here.
If you have any queries about the programme or your group’s eligibility to apply, please contact Sara, SSGT’s Grants and Development Manager, at sara@ssgt.ie. The grant round opens on the 18th July 2023 and closes at 16:00 on 14 September 2023.
