Our Approach

Our Approach

The James Kane Foundation is an independent Charity and recently moved to an online grant application process, which has now closed for this year (2025).  For future funding rounds, please see below more details on our approach to funding:

What will we fund?

The Foundation can fund Individuals and the wider community with a focus on:

  • Education bodies including schools, colleges and third level institutions (but will not fund activity which these have a statutory duty to provide.)
  • Employers including private sector companies.
  • Charities and Social Enterprises
  • The Foundation can fund on a multi-year basis.
  • Priority may be given to projects that benefit those living in Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon Council area.
  • Grants can be used in conjunction with other funding sources you may have already secured.
  • The Foundation can fund the same organisation more than once. Applications will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
  • The Foundation seeks additionality in all projects that it funds.

What won’t we fund?

The James Kane Foundation will not fund initiatives which it believes schools, colleges or councils have a statutory obligation to provide.
