A free grant calendar for community groups in Fingal

We've put together a free grant calendar for community and voluntary groups in Fingal. It lists every annual grant open to Fingal groups, with when each one opens, when it closes and a link to the official source.

It covers 30 schemes: Fingal County Council and LCDC schemes, plus national and other funders open to Fingal groups, such as the Heritage Council and the Arts Council. Each entry gives the funder, a typical amount, who can apply and a short note on whether digital work is eligible.

Schemes are grouped by how certain the dates are, then by opening date. Confirmed dates are ones the funder has published for the coming round. Expected dates come from the last round and are shown in a dashed box. Each date is the latest one the funder published, and a tag says which round it is from. There are also short notes to read before you budget, such as the Fingal PPN six-month rule and the fact that most Fingal schemes won't pay for website hosting.

To use it, pick out the schemes that fit your group, note the closing dates and follow the official link to the funder. The full calendar is also available as a free Excel spreadsheet you can sort and filter by opening and closing date. The dates were last checked on 8 October 2026, so always confirm them with the funder before you apply.
