Change Makers

About the programme

The Change Maker Funding Programme is an essential part of the PEACEPLUS programme through which the Special EU Programmes Body’s currently has grants available of up to €100,000 in support of important community led peacebuilding projects within and between communities.

How it works

Cooperation Ireland is directly supporting communities that have an interest in applying for a grant, supporting communities to develop ideas, prepare applications for funding and advising groups on the design of impactful peacebuilding projects that connect and benefit people from different community, cultural and political backgrounds and identities.

‘We found the assistance from the Change Maker Funding programme support service incredibly worth while and valuable. We were able to discuss our programme ideas, gain feedback as to whether our application fitted the criteria and discussed all aspects of the programme. We felt the support service was flexible, very informative and very quick to respond to our queries in relation to the application’
