Tender Opportunity: Research on the Causes of Recent Racist Violence in Northern Ireland

31 Jul 2025

The Community Foundation is seeking a suitable individual or organisation to conduct research on the Causes of Recent Racist Violence in Northern Ireland.

Recent months have seen a disturbing rise in racist violence across Northern Ireland, including targeted attacks, community unrest, online incitement, and increased reporting of hate crimes. These events have caused fear and disruption within affected communities and raised significant concern within CFNI and the organisations and partners that it works with.

Understanding the root causes and drivers behind these incidents is essential to inform how we can fund preventative strategies, contribute towards policy development, and support community-based interventions. This research tender seeks to commission an evidence-based study to analyse and understand the underlying causes and triggers of racist violence in Northern Ireland.
