The National Action Plan Against Racism announces Grant Scheme for Anti-Racism Initiatives

The National Action Plan Against Racism (NPAR) will be published later this year. The overall aim of the plan is to provide strategic direction to combat racism and to develop a more inclusive, intercultural society in Ireland based on policies that promote interaction, equality of opportunity, understanding and respect.

To support the aims of the plan, the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform in association with the National Consultative Committee on Racism and Interculturalism (NCCRI) wishes to announce a grant scheme to enable organisations to raise awareness about racism and highlight cultural diversity in Ireland.

There are two types of grants available:

Scheme A will provide for amounts of between €3,000 and €7,000 which

  • Stimulate a public awareness of racism
  • Help to create the conditions that make it more difficult for racism to exist; and/or,
  • Promote an inclusive approach to minority ethnic groups.

Scheme B will provide for amounts of between €10,000 and €15,000 which are strategic projects involving a number of partners which offer the potential to assist in the development of an integrated and sustainable approach to anti-racism and which add value to existing initiatives or which develop new initiatives in this area.
