<h3>A total of &euro;750,000 is being made available through this year&#8217;s Community Support Fund and community groups are encouraged to apply.</h3>
There are four main categories eligible for funding this year including; Rebuilding and Reconnecting Communities; Tidy Towns Initiatives and Amenity Projects; Community Economic Innovation; and Community Tourism, Festivals and Events.
Groups across Kerry can now apply to the fund through the Kerry County Council website before the closing date on Wednesday, February 8.
The fund, which is now in its ninth year, has supported over 2,680 projects since 2015.
The 2023 Community Support Fund was launched by the Cathaoirleach of Kerry County Council, Cllr John Francis Flynn.
&#8220;Millions have been distributed to community groups over the past nine years through this vital funding stream and it has allowed voluntary and community organisations in the county to upgrade community facilities, to support local projects and to enhance existing services,&#8221; Cllr Flynn said.
&#8220;I would encourage voluntary and community groups to apply at the earliest opportunity.&#8221;
Queries should be referred by email to the Municipal District which groups are applying to or by contacting the Community and Tourism Department at Kerry County Council on (066) 7183680.
