The 2024 Irish Aid Global Citizenship Education Grants Call for Proposals is now open.

The call for proposals can be found at this link under the ‘Applying for Funding’ tab. It also includes links to

the Guidelines, FAQ documents, as well as information on DEAR co-funding.

Key dates include: 

• Friday 27 October: Irish Aid Global Citizenship Education Grants Call for proposals published on Irish Aid website.
• Thursday 09 November, 1.00pm: Irish Aid Information Session on the GCE Grants. If you are interested, please register for the information session by emailing globalcitizenshipeducation@dfa.ie.  
• Friday 10 November, 5.00pm: Completed eligibility forms must be submitted to the GlobalCitizenshipEducation@dfa.ie. 
• According to information on the Irish Aid website, “Organisations who have not received global citizenship education funding in the past or if the organisation has not completed an eligibility form or been deemed eligible to apply over the last 3 years (2021, 2022 and 2023 call for proposals) must complete an eligibility form.”
• Our understanding is that organisations who last applied for multi-annual funding 3 years ago (even if you were successful) need to complete an eligibility form for this call.
• If you are unsure if you need to complete an Eligibility Criteria Form for this grants round, please contact Irish Aid directly. Organisations can request an Eligibility Form by emailing GlobalCitizenshipEducation@dfa.ie 
• Tuesday 14 November 5.00pm, organisations which submit a completed Eligibility Criteria form will be notified of their eligibility.
• Friday, 15 December, 5.00pm: The completed application form, signed by the legal representative of the organisation (e.g. the CEO or the Chair of the Board) should be e-mailed to the GlobalCitizenshipEducation@dfa.ie.
