The Community Foundation for Ireland has revealed its grant detail on a county by county basis up to 2012.
The Foundation’s interactive map provides totals for each county and by clicking on the county you can see a breakdown of all grants given. The Foundation’s Grassroots Grant Scheme has allocated grants over €13 million since it was established.
The map illustrates the wide disparity of grant levels throughout the country with, for instance, Limerick receiving €289,000 and Sligo €67,000. In Dublin the map provides a breakdown for different parts of the city.

The Foundation has made over 3,000 grants to date and claims to be the fastest growing community foundation in Europe.
Earlier in the year the Foundation replaced the Grass Roots Scheme with a new Grants Strategy called ‘Caring Communities.’ The first round of grants under the new strategy has a closing date of 29th March and focuses on older people, migrants and mental health.
