Clubs invited to apply for sports grants

FINGAL County Council’s sports office, in conjunction with the Irish Sports Council and County Dublin VEC, invites applications for funding under the Youth Sports Small Grants Scheme.

This scheme is open to community, voluntary or sporting organisations working with young people and based in the Fingal administrative area.

Clubs affiliated to an Irish Sports Council-recognised national governing body such as the GAA, FAI or a recognised disability organisation may apply for this grant.

The application process is very straightforward and clubs may apply for the likes of grant aid for equipment purchase or referee/coaching fees.

Applications for projects designed to create a positive impact on participation levels and which also demonstrate sustainability within the club are more likely to gain funding approval.

For further information on this scheme, or to request an application form, contact Fingal Sports Unit at 01-8906256 or email pauline.gilsenan@fingalcoco.ie

The deadline for receipt of completed applications is 4pm on Friday, October 11.
