My Department operates a Programme of Grants for Locally-Based Voluntary and Community Organisations who are addressing disadvantage in their community. This Programme makes funds available for small scale refurbishment of premises. It also provides funds for the purchase of essential equipment, including I.T. equipment, and for education, training and research.
The maximum grant for Refurbishment in 2005 was €40,000; for Equipment was €10,000; and for Training, Education and Research was also €10,000. The 2006 Programme will be advertised in the National and Provincial press in the coming weeks. A copy of the guidelines and the application form will be available on our website immediately thereafter.
