Dormant Accounts Fund NI supports the voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) sector in Northern Ireland to be more resilient and prepared for the future by funding activity that increases capacity and sustainability.

This funding is for voluntary, community and social enterprise (VSCE) organisations in Northern Ireland. We want to fund these organisations to be more resilient and prepared for the future by increasing their skills and capacity.

By this we mean, we want to help them to be stronger and able to deal with future challenges.

The work we fund must meet one of these outcomes

In your organisation, you must improve:

• confidence and skills in using digital technology
• how you track and measure your impact
• financial skills and management
• governance and leadership skills
• volunteer recruitment and management.

See what we're hoping to fund for details.

We’ll only fund projects that will make your organisation stronger. We will not fund the delivery of an activity in your community. For example, to expand the activity into new areas.

We offer funding from £300 to £20,000. And can support your project for up to 2 years.
