Gaelic games Local Disability Fund Phase 2 open for applications:
Gaelic Games’ commitment to inclusivity and community support continues with the launch of Phase 2 of the ‘Local Disability Fund’, a pivotal initiative aimed at bolstering Disability Supports Clubs across the 26-county region. As an integral component of this year’s National Governing Bodies Dormant Accounts funding call, the fund is geared towards empowering clubs affiliated to the GAA, LGFA, and Camogie Association, including Handball and Rounders clubs.
The funding is designed to assist in the provision of inclusive programmes and supports for people with a disability. Funding can support new inclusive initiates and/or those already established in Gaelic Games clubs.
Clubs can apply for funding of between €1,000 and €3,000 to support any one of the following three areas: 1. Disability Supports Education & Training, 2. Disability Supports Programme Activation and Delivery. 3.Disability Supports Small Scale Equipment and Infrastructure.
Priority will be given to clubs that have not previously received Gaelic Games 2024 Local Disability funding. If a club was already successful in the Phase 1 funding call of this scheme they will be ineligible to apply if they have not yet completed the project that was applied for. They may however apply for a new project if it is completed or for a progression of that initiative.
This online funding application process will remain open until 23.45 on Friday, November 8th.
