The LGBTIQ+ Community Services Fund provides for initiatives that will promote inclusion, protect rights and improve quality of life and well-being for members of the LGBTIQ+ community, both local and regional, enabling them to participate fully in Ireland's social, economic, cultural and political life. The LGBTIQ+ Community Services Fund operates an annual competitive Funding Call, which it is open to applications from organisations operating at national, regional and local level.

The 2025 LGBTIQ+ Community Services Fund was launched on 27 June 2025, and it remains open to applications until 12.00pm on 30 July 2025. Following the closure of the Funding Call on 30 July 2025, all applications received will be assessed in strict adherence with the assessment criteria set out in the published guidelines.
