Community Support Fund (CSF) under the Community Enhancement Programme
The Community Support Fund, funded by the Department of Rural and Community Development is open for application from community groups for running costs, capital costs and women’s sheds. Please see the following link for further details about the fund.
This fund is being provided to support community and voluntary groups, and €279,884 has been allocated to Roscommon County Council.
In order to ensure there is sufficient flexibility to allow funding to be targeted to where it is needed, in each Local Authority area, it will be administered locally by the Local Community Development Committees (LCDCs).
The Community Support Fund will provide:
• Funding for running costs incurred in the period 1st April 2022 – 31st March 2023 such as energy costs or other non-pay operating costs e.g. rental/lease costs, insurance bills.
• Capital funding for use towards carrying out necessary repairs and improvements to facilities, energy efficiency type projects, purchase of equipment such as tables and chairs, tools and signage, laptops and printers, lawnmowers, canopies and training equipment etc.
• Running costs (Non-pay) for Women’s sheds. All applications will be assessed by the LCDC with the applicants being notified of the results in early April 2023. Full procurement must be submitted with the online application form. Please note that previous funding will be taken into account when assessing applications.
