Micro Community Investment Fund

Applications to the Micro Community Investment Fund in partnership with Bank of Ireland and Comic Relief are still open.

The fund will provide valuable investment for community initiatives making a difference in towns and villages across Northern Ireland. The fund will enable those organisations who are making the lives of others in their communities better, by improving their financial, physical, and mental wellbeing.

Applications for funding must target one of the themes below:

Projects promoting inclusion and belonging, particularly to enhance the physical and mental well being of the local community

Projects that strengthen the capacity of individuals to engage with a range of available digital services in order to help manage their money in a digital age

Projects that enhance people’s financial knowledge through financial education programmes

Projects promoting physical activity which uses the assets located within the area

Projects that improve the ability of individuals to access mental health and wellbeing services either i) directly, through the provision of support or ii) indirectly, through education/awareness raising programmes

Projects that encourage the active participation of individuals in their own mental wellbeing. Projects should aim to promote increased independence/resilience in relation to an individual’s mental health
