South Dublin launches community event grants 2026

South Dublin County Council has officially launched its 2026 Community Grant Event Funding stream, inviting applications from local groups and organisers. This round of funding focuses exclusively on supporting community events scheduled for the Christmas period of 2026 and the first quarter of 2027.

Eligible events include Christmas community celebrations, along with significant cultural occasions such as St. Brigid’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, and Easter events planned for early next year. It is important to note that only applications related to these specified grant categories will be considered during this cycle; proposals for other event types or activities will not be processed at this time.

Applicants can submit their requests through the official Community Development Grant Event Funding application available online. For any questions about current grants or the application process, individuals are encouraged to contact the Community Services Department via telephone at 01-4149270 or the Community Development Team at 01-4149156. Alternatively, enquiries can be directed by email to [email protected].

This initiative aims to bolster community spirit through well-supported events that celebrate South Dublin’s rich cultural heritage and festive traditions.
