Crowdfund Dublin City

Back to People and Communities

Dublin City Council is working with community fundraising platform Spacehive on an exciting opportunity for local residents to fundraise and deliver projects that matter to them. From community gardens and allotments to health and wellbeing initiatives and art and cultural projects - we want to hear your ideas!

Through this community crowdfunding programme Dublin City Council has up to up to €5,000 available per project, capped at 50% of the project costs.
