Amharc ar fhreagraSports clubs who do not own facilities may still apply for funding under the Sports Capital Programme (SCP). In this regard, applications can be submitted for funding for non-personal sports equipment or for a capital grant of up to €50,000 provided the club or organisation have the permission of the landlord and the other general terms and conditions of the Programme are adhered to.
A new round of the SCP is currently open with applications accepted up until the 19th October. All of the terms and conditions for making an application, including the template that the organisation's landlord must complete, are set out in a guide to making an application which is published on my Department's website (www.sportscapitalprogramme.ie). All applications must be submitted through this website. The SCP does not cover ongoing operational costs.
