Overview

Cash for Kids Northern Ireland

Cash for Kids Northern Ireland is a grant-giving charity helping the children that need it most.

Their grant rounds support children from birth up to and including 18 years of age who are vulnerable, come from disadvantaged backgrounds or are living with an illness or disability. They also provide a lifeline to many other charities, organisations and community groups, funding much-needed services and life-changing equipment.

The value of a grant is typically from £1,000 to £3,000 but they will happily consider applications for larger amounts.

Criteria

  • Grant applications can only be made to children that live in/registered charities that help children in the Downtown Radio and Cool FM broadcast area

  • The Local Executive Board reserves the right to consider all grant applications individually and on their own merit and from time to time add to our main grant making criteria.
  • Favourable consideration will be given to those projects which directly benefit a number/large number of children and/or positively increase the quality of their lives.
  • Successful schemes will be of good quality with careful consideration being given to the safety and well being of children.
  • Grant applications must be accompanied by the most recently audited annual accounts of the organisation seeking the grant.
