The organisation will run a project called ‘Integration & Advancement Ladder for International Protection Seekers’
Almost €100k in funding has been allocated to Culture Connect CLG in Louth under the 2025 Integration Fund.
The organisation will run a project called ‘Integration & Advancement Ladder for International Protection Seekers’ and is set to receive €98,000 under the scheme.
The Minister of State for Migration, Colm Brophy announced that 117 community-based projects nationally are set to receive €3,612,974 in funding under the 2025 Integration Fund. The Fund helps enable community organisations across Ireland to play a greater role in promoting the integration of migrants.
The Integration Fund combines the two funds previously known as the International Protection Integration Fund and the Communities Integration Fund. Since their inception, both funds have provided close to €10m in funding to over 1,000 projects across the country.
Speaking from a project based in Wexford, Minister of State Brophy said:
“I am delighted to announce the list of successful local groups who will receive funding from the Integration fund today. The Integration Fund has been established for local community groups and civil society organisations who have been working tirelessly to promote and further integration within Irish society.
“Carrying out this work in an increasingly divisive world deserves to be recognised and commended. It is only through greater understanding and working together as local groups that we can improve integration and make Ireland a better and more tolerant country to live in for everyone.”

Minister Brophy continued,
“The projects which have been successful, such as the Places of Sanctuary project here in Wexford represent the best of Ireland, an Ireland that is welcoming and tolerant to others. I am pleased to see such wonderful and deserving projects right across the country receive this funding.’’
Minister Brophy concluded,
“Ireland needs migration. This Integration Fund recognised that migration impacts communities, and we should work together as communities to make our society, stronger and more cohesive.’’
