The Community Activities Fund (CAF) is a once-off fund that provides grants to assist community and voluntary groups with facilities upgrades, equipment purchase and running costs. The CAF is funded by the Department of Rural and Community Development with Fingal allocated €301,042 in funding for groups across the county. It was launched before Christmas at a national level by the Minister for Rural and Community Development, Heather Humphreys TD, and the Minister of State with responsibility for Community Development and Charities, Joe O’Brien TD.
The CAF can support groups, particularly in disadvantaged areas with:
- Operating and running costs such as utility bills, rental/lease costs and insurance bills.
- The cost of repairs and improvements to facilities, purchase of I.T. equipment, furniture, tools, signage, training equipment etc
