2008 Sports Capital Programme
17 Jan 2008
The national lottery-funded Sports Capital Programme, which is advertised on an annual basis, allocates funding to projects that are directly related to the provision of sports facilities and are of a capital nature.
This means that the project must involve:
- improving or building an asset; or
- buying non-personal sports equipment that will be used for at least five years.
Funding can be allocated to the following organisations under the programme:
- voluntary and community organisations, including sports clubs;
- national governing bodies of sport and third level education institutions, where it is evident that the proposed facility will contribute to the regional and/or national sporting infrastructure; and in certain circumstances, primary and post-primary schools, VECs and local authorities (see the Guidelines, Terms and Conditions to the 2008 Programme for more information)
The deadline for receipt of applications is 5pm on Friday 29th February 2008 for paper based applications and 5pm on Friday 7th March for applications made through the Department's online application system.
As there have been a number of changes to the application form and guidelines, terms and conditions this year please read the form and the guidelines carefully before submitting an application
