On October 12th, I announced over €12.5 million in funding for 580 successful Category 1 applicants under the Community Centres Investment Fund. On December 8th, I was delighted to announce a further €33 million in funding for 278 successful Category 2 and 3 applicants. Details of the successful applicants are available on my Department’s website.
Contact with successful Category 1 applicants is underway and once funding agreements are signed and all due diligence has been carried out in respect of the grants, 90% of the funding award will be transferred to groups/organisations so they can get started with their work. The final 10% will be paid on certified completion. Any queries in relation to the funding should be directed to ccif@drcd.gov.ie.
