Small Grants
Since 2008, the Northern Ireland War Memorial have proudly administered a small grants scheme awarding over £100k to projects which are in line with the organisation's charitable objectives.
Grants are expended on local projects and activities, mainly supporting the installation and maintenance of memorials to the men and women of Northern Ireland who lost their lives during the First and Second World War.

Small Grants Scheme
We Fought on D-Day
In 2023, NIWM awarded £2,000 towards a publication entitled, 'We Fought on D-Day' by Mark Scott.
The publication was based on recorded video interviews with Royal Ulster Rifles D-Day veterans. Material provided by DoubleBand films consisted of unused interview footage from a documentary originally broadcast in 2004 titled 'We Fought at D-Day' directed by Brian Henry Martin.

Robert Hill Hanna VC
The NIWM contributed £3,000 in 2021 to the Robert Hill Hannah VC Memorial in Kilkeel, Co. Down.
