We hope the information contained on this webpage will provide local groups with easier access to information on available community grants and funding available from Dublin City Council, member organisations of the Dublin City Local Community Development Committee and other local, regional, national and international organisations.  We will continue to develop this page and upload more information, links and advice over time. 

Dublin City Fundingpoint Local Digest, Fundraising Guidance Library and Fundraising Helpdesk

Dublin City Community Grants

Dublin City Council runs an annual Community Grants Scheme. We will post any new announcement here, so please watch this space.

Dublin City Council's community development officers work directly with communities in supporting community development. These community development officers liaise with community members from all backgrounds helping to build strong social networks, which are essential for viable, inclusive, sustainable communities. They work to give everyone in the community the opportunity to participate in the life of the city and have their voices heard.

Staff are involved in a large range of projects annually, for example, family fun days, resident associations, local festivals, environmental initiatives such as area clean ups and flower/shrub planting; as well as age-friendly initiatives such as “Passport for Leisure” and social inclusion initiatives such as ”Let's Walk and Talk”.
