Channelling intelligent giving to improve community's cultural, environmental and economic life
The Acorn Fund was established by the Community Foundation for Northern Ireland in 2005 to harness the passion and creativity uniquely expressed by people living in, or with strong connections to, the historic city of Derry ~ Londonderry located in the North West of the country.

Why the community needs usThe Acorn Fund provides grants and bursaries to groups and individuals who use arts and culture to help tell a new story about the place they live. By developing creatively challenging projects, supporting artistic skills development and encouraging wide community participation issues like social and rural isolation, economic inequality and segregation can be shared and tackled by the community - with a little bit of help.
