Funding for Community Gardens

Are you involved in a Community Garden Project or allotment? Are you looking to set one up in your area?

Santry Community Garden

The Community Foundation for Ireland offers funding of up to €10,000 for groups who engage directly with unemployed people in their projects. The current round of funding is open to groups within Dublin city or county that fit some of the Project's criteria.

You can get more information on the funding available on the Community Foundation's website.

It is a great opportunity to get funding to improve or start new gardens in the community and to link unemployed people to the community directly.

GIY (Grow Your Own) Ireland also offer great resources and supports for people looking to set up their own gardens.

The Santry Community Garden is a great example of a thriving local garden and their website and facebook page give an idea of how best to start.

Please contact me on 01 618 3280 or john.lyons@oir.ie if I can talk about the funding further or help with your community garden project.
