OUTREACH INITIATIVES PROJECTS
The Priorities Fund Committee has decided to allocate €120,000 for a new theme for 2007-2009. This new theme will be 'Outreach Initiatives' and its aim is to encourage projects which reach out into the community.
The Committee has resolved not to define in detail what types of projects will be supported but will be looking for innovative ways in which the concept of Outreach Initiatives could be carried out by the Church in society.
Enquiries for funding for these projects should be made to the Organiser of the Priorities Fund:
Mrs Sylvia Simpson
Church of Ireland House
Church Avenue
Rathmines
Dublin 6
The closing date for receipt of completed application forms is 31 October each year.
