How the Scheme Works
- Applicants complete and submit a short application form to Cork City PPN by Thursday 23 May 2019, 18:00hrs
- A shortlist of 6 will be selected by a panel composed of a representative from,
- Cork City PPN
- Cork City Council
- Atlantic Social Labs
- Those who are shortlisted will work with video production partners StoryTracks to create a video pitching the project they want to fund
- Videos will be placed online for the public to view and vote on using a voting platform created by communications partners One Step Closer
- The number of votes received by each organisation will determine whether organisations receive a grant top up of €150, €250, or €500
- Each of the 6 shortlisted applicants will also receive a basic grant of €250, so the grants available are worth €400, €500, and €750
The Cork Voices grant is being co-funded by Atlantic Social Labs and Cork City PPN in partnership with Cork City Council and Enterprise Ireland. StoryTracks (www.storytracks.ie) and One Step Closer (www.onestepcloser.to) have been contracted as part of Enterprise Ireland’s Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) project (find out more at www.enterprise-ireland.com/en/About-Us/Services/Procurement/SBIR-Ireland.
