The Irish government have announced that applications are open for the 2025 Integration Fund. The fund, which brings together the previous International Protection Integration Fund (IPIF) and the Communities Integration Fund (CIF), will enable communities across Ireland to play a greater role in promoting the integration of migrants, with parts of the fund directed to a specific focus on people seeking international protection.

There are two streams of funding now available for applicants;

Scheme A: Same will provide grants of between €10,000 and €100,000 for integration projects, targeting people seeking international protection.
Scheme B: Same will provide grants of between €1,000 and €10,000 for local integration projects, focused on any migrant group.

All applications must be submitted electronically.

Applications for funding will remain open until noon on Thursday 31st July. Groups can access a detailed guidance document and complete an online application form at the following link: www.gov.ie/integrationfund

2025 will be the first year that Communities Integration Fund and the International Protection Integration Fund have run as a single consolidated funding call.

Since its inception in 2022, the IPIF has supported 193 projects with grant funding totalling €5.3 million.

Since its inception in 2017, the CIF has supported over 930 projects, with grant funding totalling €4.32 million.
