Dublin Airport’s Community Fund Set To Open For Applications

August 31, 2021 Back to all news

Dublin Airport’s Community Fund will reopen for applications on Monday, September 13, and will remain open for a period of six weeks, closing Friday, October 22.

The airport’s Community Fund was launched in 2017 with an total investment of €10 million over 25 years.

The Community Fund supports local projects that make a positive contribution to neighbouring communities around Dublin Airport.  Applications are invited from 13 eligible areas from Santry south of the airport to Rolestown in the north and from Tyrrelstown on the west to Portmarnock on the east.

Organisations that have received funding in the past are welcome to submit applications for new projects. The team is available to answer any queries applicants may have on communityfund@daa.ie.

Awards from the Community Fund are made by an independent Grant Making Panel.

The Fund also supports up to 10 students per year from economically disadvantaged backgrounds to enable them to attend Dublin City University (DCU) via its Access Programme.
