ChangeMakers has reopened its small grants of up to €650 to community and voluntary groups who wish to support the objectives of ChangeMakers by offering a Development Education activity or project around one or more of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
The aim of the ‘Seeds of Change’ Grant Scheme is to enable Donegal Community Activist and Voluntary Groups to raise awareness and action around the identified global development issues.
Community groups can make applications under three categories :
• Category I- Social Justice
• Category II- Economic Justice
• and Category III- Environmental Justice
We encourage projects that address multiple categories acknowledging the reality of many of the local and global justice issues we are trying to address in our community. Such applications should identify the ‘main category’ under which their project falls.
To get an application for and full guidelines please email changemakers@inishowen.ie
Closing date has now been extended to January 31st at 5pm

That’s right ChangeMakers has been running since 2012 and since then we have been working hard within the National Development Education and Adult & Community sectors both in terms of receiving awards (2019 Aontas Star Award Adult Learning Initiatives that support Social Inclusion category) and presenting at national conferences (Bookless Book Club pilot at the 2020 IDEA National Conference) , (Supporting climate action at the 2020 Community Work Ireland Conference)  & (2021 Fair Trade Ireland Annual Conference)
