View answerThere are several mechanisms whereby community voluntary organisations can seek funding. Organisations can apply to HSE Mental Health Services for national lottery grant funding through the relevant local Community Health Organisation. Details can be found at: www2.hse.ie/services/national-lottery-grants/national-lottery-grants.html.
In addition, organisations provide mental health services to or on behalf of the HSE at both local and national level, under a variety of supply arrangements, such as Section 39 funding. Under Section 39 of the Health Act 2004, the HSE may support any person or body that provides or proposes to provide a service similar or ancillary to a service that the HSE may provide.

Pobal administers a number of funds on behalf of other Departments. Details of these can be found at: www.pobal/programmes/
