Set out below is a breakdown of funding provided to Foróige for the years 2021, 2022 and 2023 by the Department of Education. The majority of the funding is provided from the Dormant Accounts Fund towards the Foróige Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship Programme (NFTE).

* The 2021 figure includes €163, 732, approved under previous Dormant Account Action Plans, which was unspent at the end of 2020, as NFTE drawdown is made on an academic year basis. As a result, a grant of €211,268 was approved in the 2021 Dormant Account Fund Action Plan towards NFTE, providing a total of €375,000 to Foróige in 2021.

**The funding for 2023 has not been drawn down to date.
