Special Announcement - Grant Finder Platform Launch

The Funding Fair coincides with the launch of the Antrim and Newtownabbey Grant Finder Platform. Funded by PEACEPLUS, the Grant Finder Platform is a new system that will empower the community and volunteer sector across the borough to engage with relevant funding opportunities, making it easier to access and apply for grants that support Community Development Projects.

The Grant Finder is a digital database that will match users to relevant funding opportunities. The platform will allow users to access over 3,000 grant sources right at their fingertips!

Come along to the Funding Fair to hear more from the team on how to engage with and utilise this platform.
