Kildare LCDC are inviting applications from community groups/organisations in Kildare for the Local Enhancement Programme (LEP) towards their capital projects/equipment.
The priority of this funding is to aid Community Groups/Organisations and Centres located in areas of disadvantage and/or with a clear remit to provide services to the most socially excluded in particular:
- Community Centres/Facilities, Parish Halls

The Local Enhancement Programme is funded by the Department of Rural and Community Development and administered by the Local Community Development Committees (LCDCs) in each local authority area.
Kildare LCDC has been allocated €198,096 to support Capital and Equipment costs. This includes funding towards carrying out necessary repairs and improvements to facilities, energy efficiency type projects, purchase of equipment e.g. tables and chairs, tools and signage, laptops and printers, training equipment etc.
The maximum amount eligible for application is €10,000.
