Rethink Ireland and State Street Launch New €1.37 Million Breaking Barriers Fund to Tackle Discrimination and Inequality
Rethink Ireland, in partnership with State Street and the Department of Rural and Community Development, has launched the €1.37 million Breaking Barriers Fund to support projects and organisations tackling discrimination and inequality in education and employment.
This three-year fund will support diverse workplace initiatives and sustainable employment and education programmes that remove barriers for people from marginalised or minority backgrounds.
Not-for-profit organisations that provide greater access and opportunity to education and employability for people of different ethnic backgrounds, migrants, refugees, and the Traveller community can apply for this new fund. Awardees will receive support in the form of a cash grant and a place on Rethink Ireland’s Accelerator Programme, to strengthen their operations, increase their social impact, and ensure organisational sustainability.
Eligible organisations across Ireland are encouraged to apply through the Breaking Barriers Fund page by 10 January 2025.
