Fri 08 Aug 2008Funding threat to advocacy groups for immigrants
THERE IS a "real question" over the long-term future of immigrant advocacy in Ireland, according to a new report. This is because the two philanthropic bodies that fund much of the sector will cease providing support by 2016.
The report, published by Prospectus Consultants on behalf of the One Foundation, a philanthropic entity, found that many of the 190 migrant organisations in Ireland will face extreme funding challenges when the involvement of Atlantic Philanthropies and the One Foundation comes to an end, in 2016 and 2013 respectively. A large proportion of funding for groups working in the area comes from these sources.
