Waterford Community Recognition Fund Round 2 – Closes Sept 6th

Minimum funding is €50,000 and the maximum is €500,000, with those in excess of €200,000 requiring a specific business case.

The funding is specifically targeted at projects that are located in communities, towns and villages that are hosting the Beneficiaries of Temporary Protection and/or International Protection Applicants (‘new arrivals’). The Fund aims to support the development of community infrastructure and facilities for the benefit of the entire community, in recognition of the contribution being made by communities across the country in welcoming and hosting significant numbers of arrivals from Ukraine and other countries.

Projects must address needs in their areas and deliver medium-long term benefits for the entire community.

We encourage all eligible communities to take advantage of this opportunity to enhance their local facilities and support community integration and development.

Successful projects for round 1 was announced August 2nd:

Window 2 – Call for applications

Unallocated funds from Window 1 will now transfer to Window 2.  For the purpose of Window 2, applications will only be accepted from the areas below, as these areas were identified as having significant numbers of arrivals from Ukraine and other countries and did not receive their total funding allocation in Window 1 earlier this year.
