The work MUST be intentional.
Your programme must have a clear good relations purpose from the outset with deliberate and planned activities which directly address sectarianism and/or racism (the two main aims of the CRCD grant scheme). This can be achieved in a variety of ways including facilitated workshops, discussions, Q&A, Speeches at events, showcase of cultural diversity through music, art, dance, food from different cultures, storytelling etc. If your project does not include this learning element then it will not be considered a priority and will most likely be rejected.
- It must address an identified good relations need.
All applications must be able to clearly demonstrate the good relations need they want to address and how they have identified this need.
The scheme supports a wide range of work and offers support and assistance whether you are a first-time applicant or have been supported in the past.
