As part of the 50th celebrations of the founding of the credit union movement, the
Irish League of Credit Unions (ILCU) has launched the Credit Union Community Chest
which will distribute €100,000 in Ireland.

The Credit Union Community Chest is also supported by the Irish Independent and 
the Belfast Telegraph.

The Credit Union Community Chest is run on a regional basis providing a €20,000*
grant in each of the 5 regions – Ulster, Munster, Leinster (excluding Dublin both
City & County), Connacht and Dublin (encompassing both City & County). An overall
winner from one of these five regional winners will be chosen to receive an additional
€20,000* grant (or £15,000 if organisation/group is in Northern Ireland).
