In 2015 €85,000 was donated to nine Irish charities from across the Republic of Ireland. Funds raised during the year are disbursed at the bazaar towards the end of the year.
Applications from registered charities have to be made by 31st March 2016, with successful charities notified by 2nd May. The maximum grant is €15,000 and grants cannot go towards salaries or bursaries.
