We would like to let you know that The Community Sport Facilities Fund (formerly the Sports Capital Grant) is expected to open in late spring 2026 (likely May/June). This funding provides valuable support for sports clubs and community groups to develop facilities and purchase equipment, so early preparation is essential.
While the scheme is not yet open, groups are strongly encouraged to begin preparations…
What you should do now:
- Ensure your organisation is registered on the OSCAR system at the following https://www.sportscapitalprogramme.ie/
- Check that your Tax Clearance is valid or apply for one https://www.waterfordppn.ie/tax-clearance-cert-for-community-organisations/
- Gather required documentation (e.g. governing documents, bank details)
- Start planning your project and costings etc (equipment, facility improvements, etc.)
We will share further updates, information webinars and guidance as soon as the scheme officially opens.
