It is extremely helpful if applications arrive well before the deadline whenever possible. The period immediately after the deadline is our busiest time, so we cannot normally consider applications that arrive late until the following funding round.
Grants will be made to organisations working in 3 specific areas. They are homelessness, prisoners / ex-prisoners and Travellers. St Stephen's Green Trust is a grant-giving organisation which supports organisations working in Ireland to improve the lives of people who are affected by poverty/disadvantage and social exclusion. The Trust operates on a 32-county basis.
The Trust will consider project or core costs. If core costs are being requested, the applicant will need to make a case for sustaining these costs in future years. The Trust generally makes one-off annual grants, although 2 year applications may be successful in particular circumstances.
Grants levels are generally from 1,000 to 12,000. In 2008 the average grant was 5,200. In 2010, the Trust is only inviting applications from organisations with annual income below 500,000.
The Trust accepts applications from voluntary or community organisations, with a CHY or XR (NI) number. If the number is pending or if there is no charitable status, the Trust will require information on the legal status of the organisation. If your group does not have any legal status, a strong case will need to be made for funding the organisation.
Application forms are not freely available. This is to ensure organisations meet the criteria before writing the application. If you feel your organisation is eligible, please contact the Trust giving brief details of the project and an application form will be sent to you.
Deadline for receipt of applications: Friday, 3rd September, 2010. Successful grantees will receive their grants in October.
