The Civil Society Fund (CSF) supports non-governmental organisations and other civil society organisations to respond to the development needs of poor communities overseas. The Civil Society Fund Guidelines for Applicant Organisations, including block grant partners, are available below.

All organisations funded through the CSF will be subject to monitoring and evaluation by Irish Aid. The Civil Society Fund Reporting, Monitoring and Evaluation Guidelines, also below, are designed to assist CSF partner organisations in monitoring and reporting to Irish Aid on grants received. These guidelines also cover CSF block grants.

CSF funding 2009
Irish Aid will continue to maintain contracts for proposals approved for 2009 under the Civil Society Fund. However no new applications will be processed during the remainder of this year. It is hoped that funding applications may be considered in 2010. Further information will be provided on this page when available.
