Applications Open for the Community Enhancement Programme (Ireland)
Deadline: 1-Jul-21
The Donegal County Council is seeking applications for its Community Enhancement Programme to provide funding to community groups across Ireland to enhance facilities in disadvantaged areas.
The Department provides funding to each Local Authority (LA) area and the LCDCs then administer this funding locally to ensure funding is targeted appropriately towards addressing disadvantage in the areas that need it most.
It is important to note that other agencies and departments also invest in disadvantaged areas. The CEP will operate in a complementary manner to add value to other front-line schemes and programmes being operated in communities.
