The AIB Better Ireland Programme application period has been extended to this Friday (November 27th).
Applications can be made online and the programme has been expanded to include all vulnerable children, such as those with physical, sensory and intellectual disabilities, those who are socially disadvantaged and children with terminal or chronic illness.
This year AIB will give €10,000 to each of its 182 local branches in the Irish Republic to be shared among their three shortlisted groups. Recipients will be chosen by a public text and online vote from a shortlist of causes in each area.
Potential groups must be able to answer the following questions in the affirmative:
Is your group a not-for-profit organisation that helps children?
Are all the children under 18?
Does your group help children under any of the following categories:
- Chronic or terminal illness
- Physical and Sensory Disabilities
- Intellectual/general learning disabilities
- Drug and alcohol abuse issues
- Homelessness
- Lack of access to mainstream education
- Terminal or chronic illness
Are all the children residents of the Republic of Ireland?
Has your group been in operation for 12 months?
