dlr Grants 2025 applications are now closed.

Do you have an idea for an event or a project, big or small, that could benefit your local area in arts, business area promotion, events, environment and climate action, community development, heritage or sports?

Your project could make a difference to the wellbeing and quality of life, even in a small way to the people in your local neighbourhood.

Each year the dlr grant scheme supports local clubs, community groups, individuals and organisations through providing funding for a variety of initiatives which contribute to making dlr a great place to live, work and visit.

Arts Grants

Arts grants are available to provide financial assistance to individual artists, arts groups and arts organisations engaged in arts projects or events at local or county level and to support the professional development and arts practice of individual artists, arts groups and organisations.  

We fund Community Art Grants to support community arts activity in the County. Older Persons groups can apply for the Arts Access Older Persons Grants to support them to participate in arts activities.  

There will be an online briefing session for those interested in applying for an arts grant on Thursday 17 October at 10.30am. Please email cbrown@dlrcoco.ie to register.
