The Department for Communities provides annual funding for a range of grant programs including seniors, volunteers, women and youth. All grants programs are advertised on the department's website throughout the year.
The Department for Communities is not taking a 'blanket approach' to any reduction in its grant programs. Instead, the department will be considering where efficiencies can be made - for example, by reducing duplication across grant program areas and ensuring that funding is focussed on the priorities of the department.
