Media literacy funding
Coimisiún na Meán has a statutory remit around promoting media literacy initiatives and activities. We see media literacy as a lifelong learning journey. Funding opportunities may be made available for projects and initiatives that are in line with our Media Literacy Policy (PDF) and other priority areas.
Media Literacy Countering Disinformation
Disinformation is a growing challenge. We launched a call for submissions for funding for specific media literacy initiatives in 2026. A total of €200,000 was made available to fund organisations that can deliver media literacy activities in line with the National Counter Disinformation Strategy (NCDS) to help address the harmful effects of disinformation. This is the first of two calls that will issue in 2026.
Successful funding recipients for this 2026 call for submissions:
| Applicant | Project | Funding Award in Principle |
|---|---|---|
| DCU FuJo/EDMO Ireland | Mainstreaming Media Literacy a Response to Disinformation: Sectoral Perspectives and Implementation Needs | €50,003 |
| Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI) | Media Literacy / Countering Disinformation | €68,950 |
| Local Government Management Agency (LGMA) | Skills for Life Information Integrity Project | €150,000 |
