Change Maker Funding

INVITE: €40m PEACEPLUS - Change Maker Funding Programme

We are thrilled to announce the upcoming Change Maker Funding Programme, a significant initiative under the PEACEPLUS programme. This programme, managed by the Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB) and Pobal, aims to distribute €40 million over the next three years to support cross-community and cross-border projects.
