Community Relations Council Community Relations / Cultural Diversity (CR/CD) Small Grants 2026/27

About this grant

The Community Relations Council's CR/CD grant scheme funds deliberate, planned projects by community and voluntary groups across Northern Ireland that directly address sectarianism and/or racism. Projects should include a learning element and show how they contribute to an outcome of the Together: Building a United Community (T:BUC) strategy. Grants are up to £10,000 for project costs only, with an average award of £2,000 to £5,000. The 2026/27 scheme closes at 4pm on Friday 15 January 2027, and funded projects must be completed and the award spent by 31 March 2027. Applications take 8 to 12 weeks to process and are made through the CRC online portal. Groups can submit more than one application.
