The Department of Finance is developing Ireland’s first financial literacy strategy to be published in 2025

Applications for the 2025 Collaboration and Innovation Fund are now open, with a fund of €250,000 to help support projects on financial literacy.

This funding is available for local and national projects that support innovative and collaborative ways to improve financial literacy skills for adults with unmet literacy, numeracy and digital literacy needs, and create a more literacy friendly approach to accessing financial services.

Collaboration between organisations is key to the success of the Financial Literacy Strategy - read our "What We Heard" document. Created for organisations that work in the not-for-profit, public, voluntary and community sector, there needs to be a minimum of two organisations working in partnership to apply for the Fund.

Guidelines for the Fund are available and the closing date for applications is 5pm on Friday 7 February 2025.
