The Social Inclusion and Community Activation Programme has a funding allocation of €40.628 million nationally for the year 2018. This allows the organisations that implement SICAP to provide front line services to help disadvantaged communities.

An increase of 5% would bring the €40.628 million to €42.659 million.
