Rethink Ireland has launched Impact Fund 2025, a €1.1 million initiative designed to support innovative, community-led projects across Munster and Wexford. The fund, established by Rethink Ireland in partnership with the Department of Rural and Community Development and the Gaeltacht, as well as a suite of philanthropic donors, will back up to eight high-impact projects strengthening social inclusion, wellbeing, and environmental resilience at a local level across the south of Ireland. Applications are now open at rethinkireland.ie/open-funds/ and will close on Friday, 16 January at 1 pm. Rethink Ireland is the national funding body supporting the most innovative non-profit organisations and social enterprises working to create a more just, equal and sustainable Ireland. Impact Fund 2025 is created by Rethink Ireland and the Department of Rural and Community Development and the Gaeltacht, in partnership with the Parkes Family, Limerick; the Estate of Mary Coffey c/o Pat Toomey, Tipperary; the Hospital Saturday Fund; The Luan Fund, Cork; Ed Murphy, Wexford; Turas Nua and The Ireland Funds. Speaking at the launch of Impact Fund 2025, Minister of State at the Department of Rural and Community Development and the Gaeltacht, Jerry Buttimer TD, said: "This fund is a partnership in action with government, philanthropy, organisations and communities working together. We know every county has pockets of disadvantage, and the most effective response is targeted, place-based support. Impact Fund 2025 will put resources where they can have the greatest effect, empowering local people to deliver inclusion, wellbeing and climate resilience from the ground up." Deirdre Mortell, CEO, Rethink Ireland, added: "Since 2016, Rethink Ireland has invested over €15.8 million in supports for over 150 projects in the Munster region. We've seen first-hand the extraordinary creativity and leadership that exists in local communities across Ireland. Previous versions of the Impact Fund proved that when you trust communities to lead, the results speak for themselves, from schools pioneering climate education to young women building confidence and connection. "Impact Fund 2025 underscores the power of investing in local solutions to deliver national impact. With this funding, we can help communities to thrive and create lasting change for generations to come." Colin Healy, Co-founder of Kinsale-based charity, Sailing into Wellness, a not-for-profit social enterprise that delivers therapeutic sailing programmes and an awardee of Rethink Ireland, said: "Thanks to the support of Rethink Ireland, we've been able to bring our therapeutic sailing programmes to those who need it most. This funding has turned our vision into action, using the sea as a unique setting to deliver wellbeing, inclusion and transformation for people who might not otherwise have access. We're more confident than ever that place-based investment like this delivers deep and lasting impact. We encourage other organisations to apply to the Impact Fund 2025 for the critical funding and capacity building supports it offers." To be eligible to apply for Impact Fund 2025, projects must meet the following criteria: The project must address a critical social issue The project proposed must be innovative in an Irish context The project must be based on the island of Ireland and must make its main impact in Munster or County Wexford The project must have potential and a desire to scale or replicate in Ireland The project must provide evidence that it is up and running, or has been tested at least in a minimal way Applicants must come from an entity with a not-for-profit legal form, e.g. a company limited by guarantee, a co-operative, a trust or a charity More about Irish Tech News Irish Tech News are Ireland's No. 1 Online Tech Publication and often Ireland's No.1 Tech Podcast too.

Today, David Waldman and Greg Dworkin address the fundamental question consuming the attention of every true American this morning: Why doesn't KITM make a LOT more money? For the price of only 20,408 cups of coffee per episode, certain commentators and influencers at Tenet Media have had their days brightened, thanks to you… Well, not “you”, but “Vladimir Putin”. Of course, we KITM staff have way too much integrity and imposter syndrome to consider something like that, or any of my other suggestions... alas. So, let's pull up our lederhosen, wade through the schadenfreude, and look up some backpfeifengesicht out there, such as Tim Pool, Joshua Treviño, Ben Domenech, and Seth Mandel, but mostly Pat Toomey. Of course, one person's “punchable face” is another's “willing stooge”. With the Gop it is usually both. State Republicans have renominated 14 of their 84 fake electors and are finding ways to pay off the rest. Meanwhile, Liz Cheney has endorsed Kamala Harris for president. Burgermeister of backpfeifengesicht, Donald Trump is the world's most willing stooge, and ready to sell anything, especially himself, anywhere at any time. Unfortunately for Donald, his weaving ain't so tight anymore, and even MAGA is beginning to notice. If you know what accelerationists are, you can understand why they Telegram. By the way, today the nation is Under the Cloud of a Mass Shooting™.
