The Sports Development Grant is assessed under 3 separate categories:
Sports Development Grants:
Sports Development grants aim to assist sports clubs/ organisations with the implementation of new or developing activities and initiatives. Grants will generally be awarded up to a maximum of €1,000 or 50% of the cost.
Sports Equipment Grants:
Sports Equipment grants aim to co-fund equipment that helps getting people active and playing sport. Applications should focus on the benefits that having the equipment would make, who it is being aimed at and how it would help get people more active. Equipment Grants are split into two categories;
Funding for equipment up to €1,500 or 70% of the cost, whichever is the lesser. (80% for Identified Areas of Disadvantage IAD).
Funding for equipment up to €3,000 or 70% of the cost, whichever is the lesser. (€4,000 or 80% for Identified Areas of Disadvantage IAD). Applicants who receive a major equipment grant will not be eligible to apply for a further major equipment grant for 3 years.
NB If the cost of the equipment is less than the grant amount offered, the grant payment will be reduced accordingly.
Sports Access Grants:
Sport Access grants aim to assist projects that help increase sporting activities for youth at risk within designated disadvantaged communities and develop more resilient sporting habits to lead to more positive attitudes among young people. When considering applications, the Panel will pay particular attention to the value and relevance of the proposed project/activity to the community and its contribution to the development and promotion of sport within Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown.
