New Community Partnership

What New Community Partnership does

New Communities Partnership (NCP) is an Ireland-based migrant-led national network and registered charity that operates as the country's largest independent organization of its kind, with over 150 member groups representing 65 nationalities. Its service portfolio is anchored by the Citizenship Application Support Service (CASS), which handles 400+ applications annually through nine drop-in clinics in Dublin, Cork, and Limerick, supplemented by the Migrant Family Support Service (MFSS), the Migrant Access Programme (MAP) and Mi-WOW employment training, youth programs, a Ukrainian Mothers Support Group for post-2022 refugees, and policy advocacy through the EU-wide SIRIUS Network on migrant education.

NCP's delivery model is community-embedded rather than transactional: services are accessed via in-person drop-in clinics and member-organization referrals, with no fees charged to beneficiaries. The organization delivers outcomes through multilingual staff and member-group volunteers, leveraging lived-experience credibility as a quality signal that mainstream service providers cannot easily replicate. Governance is migrant-led and externally validated, including the 2022 CAF International Validated Organization Certificate.

NCP's revenue model is grant-funded, drawing primarily from Irish statutory bodies — the Department of Rural and Community Development and the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth — alongside the European Social Fund. There is no commercial revenue stream, no fee-for-service pricing, and no disclosed financial figures; income is therefore a function of annual and multi-year grant cycle renewals rather than market sales.
