As the Deputy will be aware, the PEACEPLUS programme 2021-27 is a north south programme for Northern Ireland and the border counties of Ireland. PEACEPLUS Changemaker Grants are small grants that are geared towards smaller community organisations to support the delivery of people-to-people projects, with a total of €40 million available over the programming period. A rolling call is now open for grants between €10,000 and €20,000. Calls for grants of up to €100,000 will open on a phased basis over the duration of the programme period. Further details are available at www.seupb.eu.

My Department holds responsibility for the implementation and oversight of the management and control procedures and guidance for bodies implementing under the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) in the 2021-2027 funding round. ERDF funding opportunities are not included in this reply as they are the responsibility of the relevant Departments as the Managing Authorities. My Department does not own the Schemes but rather manages the annual allocation and financial oversight.

There are no funding opportunities of the nature specified available from the bodies under the aegis of the Department.
