Community & Cultural Facilities Capital Scheme 2017
The overall objective of this scheme is to respond to the need for better community, recreational and cultural facilities for community groups through the provision of a capital grant.
Who can apply for the Community and Cultural Facilities Capital Scheme?
The scheme is open to groups operating within the Community Sector who have a recognised legal structure, operate on a 'not for profit' basis, demonstrate a policy of inclusion and demonstrate the capacity to manage and operate the proposed facilities.
Examples of projects eligible for support could include the development of open spaces, walks and parklands; play areas, broad based recreational facilities, community arts projects and projects that conserve the built and natural heritage of the county.
Level of grant aid available
Funding is at a rate of 75% of the total eligible project costs up to a maximum of €45,000. The grant beneficiary will have to provide the remaining 25% match funding. The minimum grant size available is €9000. That means that the total eligible project costs must be at least €12,000.
