Donegal Local Community Development Committee (LCDC) are now accepting applications for grant funding under the Local Enhancement Programme 2024.

The programme which has a national fund of €6 million will provide capital supports for small community groups and organisations, particularly those who serve disadvantaged areas in rural and urban areas.

The Local Enhancement Programme is designed to ensure local priorities are identified and met in order to improve community facilities. There will be a particular focus on small capital works/improvements, and the purchase of equipment for community use. There will also be a specific allocation to support Women's groups in the county.

Cllr. Niamh Kennedy, Chairperson of the Donegal LCDC said: "As Chairperson of the Donegal LCDC, I welcome the allocation of the Local Enhancement Programme funds for the County. I believe the focus on small capital works, repairs and improvements as well as the purchase of equipment can improve access to our many community facilities, help disadvantaged and marginalised groups as well as supporting important issues such as improving energy efficiency and reducing ongoing costs. I also especially welcome the allocation of specific capital funds towards women’s groups in the county."

The Local Enhancement Programme 2024 is funded by the Department of Rural and Community Development.
