Each year my Department invites eligible animal welfare charities to submit a funding application through the Animal Welfare grants programme. To qualify, applicants must meet specified requirements, which are made available through the application process, with awards made on the basis of objective criteria which are reviewed on an annual basis. In December, 2023 I announced record funding of €6 million to 101 animal welfare charities.
The call for grant applications, for this year's awards, is due to open later this year and I expect to announce these awards in December 2024.
