Community Activities Fund 2022
Description
The Community Activities Fund (CAF) provides funding to support community groups across Ireland.
The CAF is funded by the Department of Rural and Community Development (the Department) and administered by the Local Community Development Committees (LCDCs) in each Local Authority area.
The Department provides funding to each Local Authority (LA) area and the LCDCs then administer this funding locally to ensure funding is targeted appropriately towards addressing disadvantage in the areas that need it most.
It is important to note that other agencies and departments also invest in disadvantaged areas[1]. The CAF will operate in a complementary manner to add value to other front-line schemes and programmes being operated in communities.
Kildare LCDC has been allocated €296,027 under this scheme to be allocated in the following way:
· €180,905 Current funding for use towards running/operating costs
· €115,122 Capital funding for use towards carrying out necessary repairs and improvements to facilities, energy efficiency type projects, purchase of equipment etc
