A new national Communities Facilities Scheme was recently launched by the Department of Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government. This Scheme offers community groups access to capital funding in order to kick-start, advance or complete their capital projects. In Kildare the scheme targets community groups and not for profit organisations working with:

- Disadvantaged Young People

- Disadvantaged Men

Projects or elements of projects of a capital nature may be funded e.g. office equipment, project resources, research facilities, energy efficiency equipment.

Five project grants in total will be awarded across Kildare to a maximum of €13,000 per project (one for each Municipal District).

Closing date for applications is 5pm on Friday 30th June 2017
No applications will be accepted after this date.
