Commemoration Initiatives Fund

The Commemoration Initiatives Fund is a fund established to make resources available to groups and organisations for the study and commemoration of historic events of national importance.  By providing financial support to local organisations, the aim of the Fund is to assist and encourage the development of local programmes of commemoration. Given the limited budget available, such funding is, in general and by necessity, of a token nature.

In assessing projects for funding issues such as:

• impact
• significance and relevance
• geographic spread
• balance between popular and academic
• educational content and
• viability

are taken into account.
