Charities working in the areas of suicide prevention, homelessness and education access and support can apply to the Fund for project specific funding.

Every quarter ESB allocates an amount from the Fund for disbursement. The amount may vary because of the volume of applications received or seasonal considerations – wintertime and Christmas may require more funding than summer.

Average funding awards in recent years have been c. €8,000 – €12,000

Applications submitted during each quarter are appraised at the end of the quarter and funding allocated accordingly.
