The PEACEPLUS Change Maker Funding Programme is designed to make funding simple, accessible and impactful. 

Over the next two years, €40 million is being invested directly into communities through grants of up to €100,000. 

These funds support people-to-people projects that strengthen cross-community and cross-border relationships, helping to build peace and cohesion where it matters most.

The programme is managed by the Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB) and delivered by Pobal, with Co-operation Ireland, Rural Action, and East Border Region providing hands-on support to applicants.

The fund is now open for applications, and the deadline is 30 June 2026.
