RISE Community Fund to Award Cash Grants Throughout February
The RISE Community Fund has announced plans to award new cash grants to small businesses, farms, social enterprises, schools, charities and community groups, with funding available to those who can demonstrate innovative plans to use technology to scale the positive impact of their work and benefit the local community.
Applications for the cash grants open today and close on 28 February 2025. Grants of up to €1000 will be available to successful applicants across the country.
Supported by National Broadband Ireland (NBI), the company responsible for delivering the Irish Government’s National Broadband Plan, as well as other corporate partners including KN Circet, KPMG, Test Triangle, DreamDev Technologies and TLI Group, the RISE Community Fund has travelled the breadth of the country in recent years to provide a cash injection for community organisations thinking creatively about how they can use technology.
Previous grant recipients include farm owners who are using technologies to improve the productivity and environmental impact of their practice; community groups upskilling local residents in new technologies; schools introducing children to coding and cutting edge advancements; and small businesses using technology to grow their operations nationally and internationally.
The application process is incredibly quick and easy, and successful applicants will be notified in March, with money following in quick succession.
