The fund supports local scale projects to improve the environment and make our communities more sustainable, showing how local initiatives can make a real difference in our local area. Showcasing how small changes can make lasting improvements to our environment, the fund supports small scale non-profit environmental projects such as allotments, community gardens, compost schemes, rainwater harvesting schemes, educational initiatives and environmental exhibitions.
Funding for the schemes is provided by Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment and that amount is matched by dlr.
Eligible projects are those that will support and complement, at a local level, national environmental policies such as those on Waste, Biodiversity, Climate Change, Air, Water and Sustainable Development.
