Monaghan County Council has launched their annual community development fund at the meeting of the county council on Monday April 7th 2008. This year sees a marked change in the way the fund is being rolled out. In 2007 the county council carried out an in depth review of the grants scheme and came up with a number of changes to make it easier for groups to access funding and to best meet the demand for which funding is being sought.
€100,000 has been made available to all community groups and organisations in the county under three distinct measures.
|
Measure one:
|
Community Infrastructure supports (max of €5,000)
|
|
Measure two:
|
Community Development supports (max €1,000)
|
|
Measure three:
|
Community Capital supports (max €10,000)
|
The Community Development Fund aims to promote, enhance and develop community development and social inclusion work throughout the county through supporting the work of community and voluntary groups and organisations and is open to any community and voluntary group in the county.
