Financial assistance for community & voluntary groups and local organisations is available through Cork County Council’s Municipal District Community Fund Scheme 2018. This scheme is administered by the 8 Municipal District Offices around County Cork and there are three separate funding schemes depending on the nature and cost of your proposal. Cork County Council is committed to supporting local communities across County Cork.
Kanturk/Mallow Municipal District has €235,000 available to communities within the District for 2018.
Funding is available under this scheme for 3 distinctive project or proposal types:
1. Capital Fund Scheme – for community groups, sporting and local organisations in County Cork who wish to undertake infrastructural projects costing over €20,000 that will improve the range or quality of community-based facilities within their area e.g. community halls, sporting facilities, etc.
2. Community Contract – for Tidy Towns groups who work with Cork County Council on local works and projects, agreed with the Municipal District Officer and local Area Engineer that enhance the area in which the group is active.
