Community & Voluntary Organisations Grants

The Department of Community, Rural and Gaeltacht affairs invites applications from Community and Voluntary organisations for funding under two programmes of grants for community and voluntary organisations.

Programme 1: offers two schemes of once off grants

Scheme of Refurbishment Grants
Grants will be made to a range of local community and voluntary organisations with a focus on addressing disadvantage or where evidence of need has been clearly identified in their communities.

Scheme of Equipment Grants
The objective of this scheme is to support the activities of local community and voluntary organisations that are addressing disadvantage in their communities.

Programme 2: Scheme of Training Grants
The aim of the Programme is to support or enhance the activities of community and voluntary groups both national and local or community based.

These programmes are part funded by funds made available by the National Lottery. Pobal are administering both programmes on behalf of the Department.

Applicant groups are asked to carefully consider the published guidelines, to attend an information seminar if possible, and to consider their suitability before making an application.

Please note that this funding is targeted at community and voluntary groups and not individuals. Please note that funding is provided on a once-off basis.

Applications will be accepted on official forms which are available on the Pobal website at www.pobal.ie along with further guidance for applicants and the Department's website at www.pobail.ie

Application forms and further information are available from:
