It is open to local authorities to fund community-led projects from within their own resources.

Funding is available from my Department to community groups in the Border region under the Programme for Peace and Reconciliation 2000-06, PEACE II, in respect of a range of infrastructure projects, which could include parks and heritage related facilities. Applications for funding under this programme are made to county council-led task forces which select projects for support.
