Deadline: 15-Aug-20
Do you want to continue to make a positive change and increase awareness and understanding of global development issues among the Irish public? If yes, then apply for this Experiment in International Living (EIL) Seed Fund program.
EIL wants to help you to organise activities or events which will raise awareness of the Sustainable Development Goals and Global Justice. Your project can have a real impact on the way people in your community think about global issues and in turn bring about real change in the world. Grow your idea into action!
The EIL Seed Fund exists to assist returned volunteers and change-makers to overcome barriers by providing successful applicants with funding, guidance and support to implement their own awareness-raising projects in Ireland. You can apply to the Seed Fund as individuals or as part of a group.
At EIL they believe that on a long-term basis, the most effective way in which volunteers can truly make a difference is to educate others about global justice, the Global Goals and the lives of people in the Global South.
- Receipts of expenditure must be supplied to EIL.
- All money unspent must be returned to EIL for redistribution to future projects.
- Grant winners must submit a report on their project. Where possible this should include photos, videos or other media documenting your action or event. These photos and videos may be used for EIL for further promotional use.
- Unsuccessful applicants may request feedback from the judges as to why their application was not successful and how it could be modified for any subsequent submission.
- Once selected, applicants will be required to provide more detailed information on the planning and implementation of their project.
- EIL considers the sustainability and environmental impact of each project. Please be mindful of this when developing printable resources and use an electronic version where possible.
- Funding will not be granted retrospectively.
- Please note that the projects can only be funded if they take place in Ireland.
- Individuals / groups with a passion to promote development issues and/or who are part of the EIL Network.
- There is no age limit. If you are under 18, please include a reference on your application form from your parent or guardian.
- EIL encourages groups to apply, but will require one member of the group to act as a point of contact for EIL and to take overall responsibility for the project. Please be sure to complete the GROUP application form.
