2025 Community Fund

Welcome to our 2025 Community Fund

We are proud & excited to be launching our second distribution of our Community Fund! Our Community Fund was set up last year to support sporting, caring, cultural community groups in our catchment area, who carry out projects of all descriptions that will enhance the well-being of our local community and the people within it. Our mission is to address pressing needs, promote sustainable development, and foster a sense of community amongst our local members of the public. 

If you are part of a club, group, or organisation with a project needing funding, you may be interested in applying. This could help you achieve your goals and make a positive impact on your community or cause. Building on the momentum from last year, we are delighted to announce that our Community Fund pot for this distribution is €30,000! Due to the positive interaction and number of deserving applicants from last year, we have decided to increase our total distribution amount! 

Our community fund is now available in our extended common bond of Ballinamore and Carrigallen. We welcome all new applications from these areas!

We are incredibly excited to relaunch this Community Fund and continue this journey with you! We look forward to reviewing your applications and supporting the incredible projects and initiatives that will emerge from our community. Your ideas, passions, and dedication are the heart of this fund, and we can't wait to see the positive impact we'll achieve together.

**PLEASE NOTE** We wish to advise all applicants that our goal for this Community Fund is to provide funding to as many deserving groups as possible, which means individual grant amounts may be smaller than the full amount requested in order to support a wider range of projects.
