The Irish Government Emigrant Support Programme is now open to applications for funding. The ESP is focused on supporting cultural, community and heritage projects that foster a vibrant sense of Irish community and identity.
In particular the programme supports organisations that deliver frontline advisory services and community care to Irish emigrants, particularly to the more vulnerable and marginalised members of our community abroad.
In recent years the programme has also funded capital projects that ensure the long–term future of Irish communities.
Full details on the objectives, criteria and reporting requirements associated with the programme are available at the following Overview of the Emigrant Support Programme.
Applicants are also encouraged to consult their Frequently Asked Questions.
