Community and Voluntary Grant Scheme 2024

The Community Grant Scheme is a scheme of small grants open to community groups to implement projects that will result in greater social and community activity in their area such as small-scale amenity projects, purchase of equipment for community halls/groups, materials, etc. 

This scheme is aimed at groups who have limited fund raising opportunities and the majority of grants awarded are in the region of €500.  The maximum grant awarded will be €2,000.

Please note that the level of funding awarded under the scheme is dependent on the number and type of applications received in each Municipal District.
