Louth organisations invited to apply for new €10,000 monthly SHEIN community fund
Between now and the end of the year, the programme will award €10,000 each month
SHEIN, the global online fashion and lifestyle retailer, today announced the launch of the SHEIN ‘Fabric of the Community’ programme, designed to support grassroots organisations that play a vital role in strengthening communities across Ireland.
Between now and the end of the year, the programme will award €10,000 each month to one local Irish organisation, providing practical financial support to help charities, youth and sports clubs, social enterprises and community groups expand their services, improve facilities, deliver new projects or respond to local needs.
With a total funding commitment of €40,000 for 2026, the initiative aims to celebrate the organisations that are creating meaningful impact every day while making funding accessible to those working closely with their communities.
“Ireland has played an important role in SHEIN's growth in Europe since the establishment of our EMEA headquarters in Dublin in 2023,” said Robin Kiely, SHEIN’s EMEA Corporate Communications Director.
“The SHEIN ‘Fabric of the Community’ programme reflects our commitment to giving back by supporting the local organisations that help communities thrive every day.
“They are at the heart of our communities, powered by dedicated volunteers with often limited resources, yet they make an extraordinary difference every day. We want to recognise their contribution, celebrate their stories and provide meaningful support that helps them continue and expand their important work.”
The programme is open to a wide range of community-focused organisations, including registered charities, youth groups and sports clubs, social enterprises, non-profit initiatives and grassroots community projects.
Applicants will be invited to complete a short online application, outlining who they are, the community they serve, the challenge or opportunity they are addressing, how the funding would be used, and the impact it would have. One successful organisation will then be selected each month to receive a €10,000 grant.
"Every community has organisations that quietly make an enormous difference to people's lives,” Kiely added. “We hope this programme not only provides funding where it is needed most, but also gives these organisations the recognition they deserve. Ireland is home to an incredible network of local groups creating positive change every day, and we are proud to be able to support them."
