The Department of Health does not provide funding in this regard, however the HSE operates a National Lottery Funding Grants Scheme which may be of assistance.

Funding is distributed by the HSE each year to community based groups and voluntary organisations under the Respite Care Grant Scheme and the National Lottery Grant Scheme. Under the Scheme, groups and organisations involved in the provision of Health and Personal Social Services can apply to the HSE for once off funding of between €500 and €10,000 for suitable projects.
