Established by The Community Foundation for Ireland in 2010, The Women’s
Fund for Ireland is a long-term philanthropic fund. Its mission is to
encourage philanthropy among women, to improve the lives of women and
girls through social change grant making and to educate the entire
community about the benefits to society when the potential of women is
realised.
In our current cultural climate of #MeToo and #TimesUp, sexual
harassment, its perpetrators and the direct and collateral damage
associated with it has never been so visible. Building on our existing
partnerships with organisations such as Safe Ireland, working to make
Ireland “the safest country in the world for women and children", The
Community Foundation for Ireland wants to find out what work is taking
place in Ireland in the area of combatting or highlighting sexual
harassment and what needs to happen to bring about real change in this
area.
We are offering grants of up to €5,000 to organisations who are undertaking new work that aims to centre-stage this phenomenon and instigate changes in standards, behaviours and attitudes in this sphere. If you are part of a formal or informal group/ network that is involved in research, awareness-raising, advocacy, activism or other activities that aim to bring about this kind of social and cultural change, we are interested in hearing from you.
