The St. Stephen’s Green Trust is launching a new funding programme that aims to contribute to a ‘high energy democracy’ by supporting civil society groups to:

• Engage in participative and deliberative democracy initiatives that harness the power of civil society to transform democratic decision-making processes
• Develop progressive platforms for collective power and influence which use values-based approaches to identify elements of transformative change
• Create spaces for participation and voice, particularly among those who are most marginalised

This is a one-off grant programme to fund groups on the island of Ireland for up to €15,000.

Closing date for receipt of applications: 14^th September 2023.
